"...over-canopied with luscious woodbine, with sweet musk-roses and with eglantine."

SC61 - Inspired by Shakespeare

"...over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine."

Part of a monologue spoken by Oberon, Act 2, Scene 1 of a Midsummer Night’s Dream’.

The Luscious woodbine is Lonicera periclymenum, common names include honeysuckle, common honeysuckle, European honeysuckle, or woodbine.

The rose in the centre is the hybrid musk rose, ‘Penelope’ bred by Joseph Hardwick Pemberton. It has trusses of semi-double seashell-pink blooms that are sweetly fragrant. This photo is taken in my garden

The rose on the right, an eglantine, is a species of Rosa rubiginosa, also named R. eglanteria

Amelia replied to Nick Weall:

The honeysuckle was taken a couple of weeks ago, as was the single rose, but the hybrid musk was taken in June. ;-)
