When anyone comes to our house this time of year, the first thing they notice is our rose garden in our front yard. This year, especially, it is in overdrive. I wish I could claim some credit for this, but it is all my husband's doing. Well, I guess I can claim a little credit. A few years ago, my husband--knowing my affinity for roses--decided to get me rose bushes rather than cut roses for Valentine's day!

Thanks so much for taking this photoshare over, Melinda! Your roses are just beautiful! I am envious, as I don't have a great track record with roses, but always admire them in others' gardens!
ReplyDeleteLovely roses. I prefer having the rose bushes to the cut flowers too.
ReplyDeleteLovely.
