ROSARIAN   ?

A rosarian I am not.  A rosarian is one who cultivates roses as an occupation.  I just love roses and grow them as a hobby.  No matter what color I love them all. I talk to them often and they seem to respond faithfully.  





My main rose garden is on the East side of the house as this has proven to be the best location after the other places I tried have failed. Here, they get the morning sun and are shaded by the house in the afternoon.  I do have roses in other locations in the yard though.   One bed is nothing but knockout roses but they are not for cutting.

My mother loved roses and took pride in raising beautiful bushes so I guess I inherited this passion from her.

This year has been a come back year for my poor roses.  The last two years I let some volunteer tomatoes take over and they just about did my roses in so this year I did not let that happen. 

A rose by any other name is still a rose!
