a rose is a rose
























My roses are beginning to bloom.

















They love to ramble and roll.

















My sweet father-in-law rigged up this suspension wire.
Each Spring, I wait in suspense for my roses.


















Are you feeling my bliss.  Take time to stop and smell the roses.























I do each time I pull into my garage.  I also look for the birds in that big nest.
I think they may be Mockingbirds.

    So pretty! I on the other hand have killed many a rose bush. Not so much of a green thumb, unfortunately. But I have managed to keep my peonies alive. They are ready to burst! Can hardly wait.

    Your climbing roses are beautiful. That first photo shows their intricate folds and yet simple beauty. How fortunate to have roses making a home on your home. I know you enjoy their exquisite beauty!

    Beautiful! I love the suspension rod- what a clever man your Dad-in-law is. So sweet that the birds have chosen to come live among your roses. What a splendid tree house!

    Unfortunately my roses are finished with the first big bloom. They are so glorious when they are in full bloom. We have a precious little robin that is sitting on her nest in a climbing hydrangea on a narrow ledge over the garage. We leave the doors open now because it upsets her when they open and close.

    I love your climbing rose bush, Patricia. It looks so beautiful the way it's spreading over the garage. What kind of rose is that? It's such a delicate blush color. Your yard looks so pretty and green.

    Beautiful! I'd love to know if/how you clip them and arrange a few around your house. I love treating myself to a few fresh flowers around the house, when they are from our own garden it is especially exciting.

    I love the suspension wire...brilliant! My roses were looking pretty good until a total stranger pulled up in a car with clippers and made a bouquet for herself (I wish I were kidding).
