OnlyRoses
`
A spattering of brightly coloured rose petals adorned the pavement of Earls Court outside a slick black shop front. On such a beautifully sunny Spring morning they caught my attention, and as intended, encouraged me straight inside the shop.
I have never been into a florists as amazing as OnlyRoses. The colours of the roses, some you could only imagine, ranged from deep plum purple to the duskiest lilac and each stem had their own unique personality.
The Union Jack flag, made entirely from 'Infinite Roses', (roses that have been preserved in oils to last up to a year even without water), was the statement piece on the wall.
Of course by instinct I smelt every rose, and I admit that I was disappointed. All but three of these exquisite flowers that looked so wonderful didn't have a scent! It felt wrong, like something crucial was missing. It was like a beautiful perfume bottle filled with water.
However the ones that did smell certainly made up it. If I could only bottle the smell for you now!!!
'Beauty without virtue is like a rose without scent'.
