Rose Garden


I love roses, so we wandered through the city rose garden last night.  The rose bushes were already past their prime, but a few blooms were still putting on a show.    I wish I had taken pictures a couple of weeks ago when they were at their peak of perfection.

  2. All of my roses bushes are special....a gift from my husband, a peach one I'm keeping until my daughter can plant it(some day) in her own yard....and some random bushes from a friend that passed away in April.
    We have a bush that blooms in dark pink....in the Spring we sprinkle the doorway with the petals.

  13. This looks a well kept garden. My roses are in full flower at the moment. I will need to start dead-heading in a couple of weeks to encourage new blooms.
