There is a special magic in the late days of spring. For me, this time is inseparable from the blooming wild roses. I absolutely love everything about them, especially their sweet, delicate scent that fills the warm air. They come in so many beautiful shades—from pure, soft white to deep, vibrant pink. Every time I see these blossoms open, my heart fills with joy. For me, they are the gentlest sign that summer is finally on its way.

In the original Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, the princess's castle was swallowed by a thick hedge of wild thorns, which is actually blooming wild rose.

Travelers often left small gifts under the bush, as it was considered a gateway to the fairy realm.
