Flowers From Our Yard: Peppermint Splash Rose
(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)
Peppermint Splash is one of the more unusual roses that we have in our yard. I think this picture shows how it got its name, and why I always want a piece of candy each time I go past it.

So very pretty and it makes me hungry too!
George: Love it, how colorful.
The patches of color are beautiful.
They add life to the rose.
Smiling, smiling at its uniqueness.. wishing I could smell it too!
Thanks for the beauty you bring into this world, George.

I did enlarge the photo in order to enjoy the sweet and beautiful curves of this rose. it is so pretty and it does really look like peppermint.
It is not only unique,but also very pretty.
Intriguing color I'd say.
Unusual coloration for sure.
This has always been one of my favorites of yours, and I like the angle you snapped it at!
Super nice shot!
So George, how does it taste? (grin)
Ah she's a beauty.
Calorie free eye candy!!! Love this glorious rose George!!!
I am so glad you shared this beauty with us. I have never seen one like it. Very, very pretty.
Great name for the flower. I love those peppermint speckles.
Somehow you don't expect it to smell like a rose, exactly, do you? More like, well, peppermint!
The rose is gorgeous! Thanks, George.
such an interesting specimen . Wow!
I just drew in a deep breath... if only I could smell it. :)

thanks for that.
Very gorgeous! That would make a great display with a dish of candy, wouldn't it?
Peppermint splash is beautiful!!
