Awww,that really is pretty,a typical cottage,the roses are beautiful, it looks larger than you have described in some of your posts.
in reply to redted
It is small honestly...the rooms are tiny...lol
Probably the dog rose. It's usually used to graft hybrids from. So a lot of the " posher " roses you see all owe it to the dog rose.
As far as I remember anyway !
A few years ago since I went to college

Not the wild Dog rose...this is a cultivar...probably a Dorothy Perkins.

Omg, I love it...so cozy looking. Are you in Ireland? My grandparents were from Ireland and that looks very similar to what the outside of their cottage looked like.

Sweet enough for a chocolate box! wonder if the rose is a Dorothy Perkins, came out in 1901 double rose pink with no fragrance. Very pretty rambler.
in reply to Lyd12
I do think you're right about the rose Lyd...it grows in huge profusion most years...I'll start referring to it as a Dorothy Perkins.

If you google Dorothy Perkins rose there are some lovely images and under the Jackson and Perkins wikipedia it tells about the hybridizer who named the rose after his grand-daughter. iris x
It seems ideal. I envy you.

So pretty. Where do you live Vashti?
in reply to freefaller
We live in North-West Ireland...about 30 miles from the Atlantic ocean...
freefaller in reply to
WOW! It is lovely. We live in West Wales in an old barn which was converted back in the 80's Will post a photo one day. Haven't got many apart form when we have all our plant pots and baskets out and not doing that this year as just don't feel well enough. We are about a mile from the Irish Sea here and used to walk to the sea regularly but we have to walk either down (and then back up) a steep hill or steep steps so haven't done that for a while.
How charming and beautiful xx
Ah. A bit too far away for me to make out. Thanks for the info.
If I ever get to Ireland I will bring some hogweed for the bunnies lol
