Description
Gardens here in Italy are always fenced and sometimes are guarded by serious obstacles. Close to my favorite pastry shop, where we (Flavia and me) go for a sweet breakfast cum aperitif and reading of the local papers on Sundays, there are two Liberty villas. They were built in the early 20th century and belong to some well-off family. Probably some wealthy doctor, since the hospital is at a spitting distance and in this neighbourhood live many doctors and university professors. Both villas have tall hedges to hide the garden, but taller rose trees gloriously managed to evade restriction. I took this one last spring, when the roses were at their best.
Thank you for your kind comments.

Well done - these are beautiful. You composition is perfect.
Wonderful roses in a beautiful shot !!! In France in the towns, the flowers don't be guarded...they live in free access ! perhaps...in the future, the towns will guard their flowers against the bad tentations !!!

Beautiful capture of some beautiful roses! Seeing the barb wire fencing reminds me of when I used to farm in ND and had to repair my fences, usually winding up with may pucture wounds in my fingers from splicing the wires together and tightening up the fence to keep the cattle from roaming off my property. Winter time usualy broke down the wires in many places where the snow would pile on top, then as the snow melted and turned to ice, the weight would pull the fences down and stretch them to looseness. Sorry to bore you with this. I don't know where that came from. I certainly didn't mean to detract from your beautiful roses. They are glorous!
Super capture Sandra! Love the barbed wire "thorns" :)
