Here's the roses I promised LC. It's where my parents live, in the little house by the river........... Here's the front yard......... Take a look at the view below, down the sidewalk! The neighbors love walking by there. You can smell the roses from a block away...........

LC....I'm glad you're enjoying the pictures. I'm glad I finally got them posted! I planted every rose in that yard, for the exact purpose of it being a Beach Cottage/English Garden! I started planting the minute Shanii and I moved there in 1999/2000. Some, I cut back very little because I wanted them to be huge! You might like to know that every one I picked, I picked for the prolific rose smell. At night I use to have my bedroom window open all night just so I could smell the roses...... I also liked to pick a pretty one, and put it in a little glass in the fridge. Every time I opened it, it made me smile............. AMY, They do smell really sweet when you get within about a block sometimes of the yard. Some of them have a spice fragrance, some really sweet, some old English rose fragrance. All combine they're wonderful.........

My dad, rest his soul, used to grow roses. He treated them with a lot of TLC, and they were beautiful, just like these. Everytime I see roses, I think of him and my mother. Her name is Rosa, and he called her his Rose. Sorry to go sentimental on ya'll.

I bet your dad and your mom would like those roses...... Frank.....They're a lot of work, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you're into spraying, cutting and protecting them in the winter from harsh cold, they would well be worth it. I would suggest, a small area to start, or even just a couple of bushes to start, see how you like it. You can always add more. Get disease resistant bushes, and maybe some for their fragrance........ You can choose a color and just plant various different hues of that color...........Or all verities of color............

Somewhere around here, I have a recipe and instructions for the plant food dad used. I hope I'm able keep it safe, it's in his handwriting.

Hmmm... if they are a lot of work then they are probably not for me - not at this stage, anyway. I need low maintenance property for now. The garden to grow some stuff was going to be my max .. I didn't realize roses were significant work. Thanks for the heads up!
