A Single Rose Can Be My Garden

A single rose can be my garden, a single friend, my world.

Ha ha! I'm first to comment! Your roses look beautiful! I was actually wondering just a couple of days ago how they were!

How did we miss seeing these roses just a couple of weeks ago? They are amazing!

Also, I love the idea of you pruning your rose bushes as you're all dressed up!

Lookin' good guys. Lookin' good.

They look beautiful. Did you guys plant them yourself or were they already there?

I love roses but I don't know if I could grow them sucessfully.

Thanks for all of the comments, everyone! The roses were here when we bought our home, but Kevin and I (mostly Kevin) dug out the whole strip and put in the landscaping rocks. I love this part of my yard. It's just great to see the roses thriving.

They are lovely. The quote is lovely! A rose is so sweet, and so perfect. Do they smell as good as they look?

Chelle said...

Beautiful. I am imagining the smell of all of them right now...and the taste of rose-flavored ice cream. Mmmmm.

You should come by and see my flowers and vegatables, they look pretty good this year.
Thanks for sharing that poem...i am going to put it on my blog. Its so sweet and really rings true in MY life.

Alisa said...

Laurie, I haven't even seen your house yet! We should really get together with our husbands, and I would LOVE to see your garden.

I love seeing your blog updates. I was also really moved by your picture of Conner with his great-grandpa. That will be so great for Conner as he grows up.

Alisa,

Your roses are BYOOTUFIL! My friend LaNette gave me two rose bushes to commemorate my mom, and they are just tiny but one has bloomed. It gives me hope to see your gorgeous rose hedge! Although to be really confident about the future of my roses, perhaps I should hire you as a gardener! :-)
