Satsuma plum, I covered them after this photo with tin foil. I want to make sure I taste them at maximum flavor, maybe 2 more weeks after this.

Some roses from April/May.

Lady Emma Hamilton. A very fruity fragrance

Charles de Mills, the perfect Gallica rose!

Madame Hardy, an exquisite white Damask rose. Old rose scent with something fresh and herbal about it

And an unknown damask perpetual (Portland) coming from a mountain village in Soria, Spain. I suspect it to be close to Rose de Rescht. Pure perfect old rose scent!

Stanwell Perpetual, a damask X Pimpenifollia rose with a very sweet fragrance and dainty leafs
