God Grows Roses in the Spring

 There is a saying God grows roses in the Spring and man has to do it the rest of the year.
 I love roses and have over 100 bushes in my garden, a real gardener knows all of the names, but I don't.
 Most of my roses came from Hardins in South Tampa, some mail order from The Texas Rose Rustlers. They go to old cemeteries and take cutting of OGR , they figure if they ares still alive after 100 years them must be hardy.
 This is one of my favorite roses, Weeping China Doll, so many clusters of roses hanging over the fence. Makes me very :).

 This is Prosperity, just beautiful.
If your ever in the neighborhood, stop and smell the roses. Have a great gardening weekend. Janis

  4. Ooh, I so wish I can stop by and smell the roses in your garden! 100 bushes, WOW! Your weeping China doll and prosperity are so gorgeous! I wish I can find one of these, and have more space in my garden to grow more roses. I have not had much luck to grow roses yet, but I am still trying..Yours are inspirational.
