Rose garden, my garden

Lately I posted a lot of rose photos (and will continue to do so). Why? because my garden (backyard and not only) is full of those flowers, see below:

Update: the high resolution of the photo(s) here were lost in an unfortunate accident(human error made by be) and a bit later the only copy remaining (resized for web use, hosted on flickr) was deleted by the yahoo bastards. I am very sad about the lost content, but is out of my control. My only hope is I will be able to replace them with more and better shots.

Eating: roses, strawberries…

A memory of my childhood: jam made of roses. Actually this is "dulceață" in Romanian, which is not the same as "gem"(jam), is something sweeter. You use the petals, boil them with lemon, sugar and some water and the result is a delicious sweet fruit preserve.

Speaking about food produced by my garden, I had the first harvest of strawberries this year, they were a few and the photos are quite bad, but they are real strawberries, no chemicals, no nothing:
