The Rose Garden
The Rose Garden – Not my rose garden, I have never actually planted a rose bush in my flower garden. Not sure why not, I guess I have heard they need a lot of care and I don’t have the greenest of thumbs. 🙂
But I love photographing roses, so many different kinds. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Where is this beautiful garden?
This is at Bellingrath Gardens in Mobile AL, very beautiful place with so many different flowers. ☺️
I must add it to my travel list for the next time I’m down that way.
Yes, it is a wonderful places, Christmas time is extra nice with lights everywhere.
Roses are so beautiful – we only have one rose bush in our landscaping and somehow it keeps surviving our brown thumb ability to kill it.
I might try one next year, we have so much clay up here, it is hard to get things to grow.
Ooooohh Pretty
Thank you very much 😊
Very pretty and delicate Sandra. When my garden looked nice, I did have roses and over the years experimented with different types … tea roses have one bloom, it dies and takes forever for another to bloom, climbing roses are gorgeous but they take a while to get to where they ramble and look gorgeous, but shrub roses are easy to grow and maintain.
I will look into the easy ones for next year.
Yes, try a couple Sandra. Shrub roses are great and they bloom continuously. Mine are red and called “Home Run”. If you have heard of “Knock Out” shrub roses, often used for hedges, they are a variation of the Knock Out shrub roses. They are disease tolerant which is good as I had climbing roses I bought to make a tribute garden to my mom and Sugar (both who passed away in 2010) and I bought bare root roses and ordered them from Jackson & Perkins directly as I wanted “Stairway to Heaven” roses. They had blackspot and did very poorly, so I finally tore the three bushes out before they killed everything else.
Wonderful !🌹🌹🌹💖💖🙏
Thank you very much Francine 😊 ☺️
The roses have such beauty!💕
Beautiful, Sandra.
Back in the day I found out roses are like potato chips. One is not enough. I ended up with over 100 around the yard.
Wow, that must have been beautiful. I have never had one. I might now want to get started with them. We have a lot of clay here where I live. No black dirt. They might not like it here.
They need a more sandy soil. You could dig out a 2 foot cube and mix in some sandy with your clay, or heck just try it with you have.
I will have to try that next summer.
Beautiful
Thank you very much Matt.
Wonderful pictures of roses. No, they don’t need a lot of care.
I will have to get one next year maybe. They are so pretty.
Beautiful photos. But I especially love the first one.
Thank you very much Liz.
