Roses are . . . pretty!



I never have thought I would enjoy having a garden at all. But now I'd have to say I am spoiled. I'm going to miss my roses! All summer here at my new place I have had the luxury of a fresh rose opening in a vase sitting on my table every day. Each one lasts about a week and then I step out to my back yard and find another one. And on top of that I have had a abundance of blooms to gaze at on the bushes. It has not been hard to keep the bushes pruned, and has been so worth it. So now I hope I can learn what I need to do to put them to 'bed' for the winter since it seems to be rapidly aproaching. I sure want to do it right so I'll enjoy the bounty again next year!
