I am very lucky to live in the house that I do. My grandparents lived here before me and they love roses. This means that I have 6 good rose bushes to enjoy, including one which we used for petals in my wedding. I decided to take some photos for you all to enjoy; plus I figured it is an easier way to share them with my G-ma who lives about 3 hours away now.
A new bud ready to open...
The one we call Grandpa's rose...
A different angle...
And finally, my favorite bush (and the largest!) This one has grown quite a bit since my grandparents planted it over 10 years ago. This tiny rose happens to be my G-ma's wedding flower. I love that I now get to enjoy that part of their wedding everyday.
The bush has even managed to grow down behind our fence and reach the wild-life preserve behind us!
Now I just need to figure something out for ground cover in the planter...
It smells wonderful in my backyard right now! Happy Spring =)
Love all these photos of the roses! So pretty! How wonderful that you get to enjoy them on a daily basis!
