The theme for one of the balls at The Jane Austen Festival 2025 was Roses and all of the dances had some sort of floral inspiration. We felt that this was perfect for making a CD to sell and this is it! We are selling it in person at balls and also digitally via BandCamp.
The artwork was painted by Vicki's Great Aunt Inez from Sweden. She painted many things but everyone in the family got a painting of a rose. This is the rose that my mum had hanging on the wall for many years.
