Saturday Snapshot - May 25

To participate in Saturday Snapshot: post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky below. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.

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!

    Yay for plants that give flowers each year. :-) We hope anyway. Yours are gorgeous. I hope they smell as lovely as they look.
    Thanks for hosting the Snapshot meme.

    Your roses are beautiful! Props to your hubby for getting you the plants instead of just the flowers! That's a gift that keeps on giving :) I have been out of Saturday Snapshot for a few weeks, so this is my first SS joining you as the host, thanks so much for hosting! Book Savvy Babes

    Great idea to plant a rosebush instead. Now you can have cut flowers all summer long. Here's Mine

    Nice pics. Our roses are a bit late this year, due to our long winter, but we'll see them soon, hopefully. Thanks for your willingness to take over the hosting of Saturday Snapshot.

    My roses haven't bloomed yet. You must live further south. They are lovely. Thanks for hosting.

    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!
