It was roses, roses, all the way.....

"It was roses, roses, all the way,
With myrtle mixed in my path like mad."

The quotation is from Robert Browning's "The Patriot", which is appropriate considering the news from Egypt.

These roses are in my sister-in-law's garden; the white ones are climbing all over a high fence, the others are non-climbing bushes, with purple & mauve poppies (not myrtle!).
