Autumn has arrived and with it the time for our annual journey to the Southern Hemisphere to central Chile to visit family and friends. Once again, I am so, so lucky to stay a few days with my dear friend María Cecilia in her mountain sanctuary in the Andean foothills. The beauty and magic she has created here, and so generously shares, is breathtaking and transporting. This year, my timing was perfect to witness and capture her abundant roses at their peak. I have photographed rose gardens all over the world but, truly, none compares to hers.
Arches are covered and heavy with fragrant, perfect blooms.
Her home is a dream of serenity, beauty and stylish creativity.
Here is my dear friend, such a beautiful spirit, amongst her roses. One day soon, she will be leaving this property for a new adventure, a new creation – let’s all wish her so much love, joy and happiness.
My previous post from María Cecelia’s garden last year is here.
Thank you, as always, for your visits. I will be posting more this week from Chile, including the stunning coast and more of my friend’s amazing roses. You can also see so much more of María Cecilia’s home at her blog. I honestly can never thank her enough for all she shares with so many of us around the world. I am greatly privileged to know her.
much love,

p. s. I’m posting daily on Instagram, too, @georgiannalane. Hope to see you there!
Oh oh… how beautiful those roses are. I almost smell them…and feel the summer.
Thank you for the most amazing photos… once again!
Oh, Georgianna!! You arrived at ‘peak’ for the roses? What a pure joy! And pure heaven, too! I’m so happy for you!

Thank you so much for this amazing view of what must be a small piece of heaven on earth. Looking forward to more posts. I’m following from Instagram also, of course! Would love to see more of her home. What is her blog location? You’ve probably given it before but I don’t have it.
Thank you………………
I can never tire of seeing roses or images of roses. Yours are so absolutely beautiful! And, your friend’s home must truly be magical there in the Andes. Thank you for such a beautiful post. . .
Amazing roses. I sure wish I could get mine to grow like that! Best wishes Maria on your new adventure!!
Oh the lovely roses… It must be amazing to walk by and under these magnificent roses. What an amazing garden she has. A wonderful post Georgianna with superb photos, as always. Have a great end of week with your friends and family.

Gasp! I am in such awe of the beauty of these incredible rose flowers AND in your ability to capture them and share them with us in this way! You and your friend – two roses among the roses…
Wishing you a beautiful time, dear Georgianna,

Such beauty, it would be so hard to leave that all behind. Although the joy and excitement of creating new gardens would help.
I will check out your link for your last visit and also visit her blog.
Thank you for these beautiful photos ~ FlowerLady
How absolutely beautiful these photographs are! Thank you dear Georgianna for sharing such bounty, made even more special when all of our gardens are getting ready to go to sleep for the winter months. ox, Gina

i look at these amazing photos and think ‘what an aroma there must be surrounding those beauties’
Thanks so much for taking time to capture this garden and the fantastic roses. Everything about this makes me smile and miss South America. Maria is clearly a master rosarian! Please tell her “mil gracias” for sharing her garden with us. Hope you have a great time in Chile – enjoy!
It must be absolutely breathtaking to be in the middle of all that!
I have never seen roses bloom so abundantly ~ they are so beautiful! I am sure you had a wonderful time together.
