What about roses?
Red roses are for passion, right?
They are given by lovers throughout the world.
They are a gift worthy to be presented to a queen.
Many years ago, hubs used to buy red roses for me from time to time.
Tucked beneath mounds of baby's breath, they always thrilled me.
Their fragrance,too, was always intoxicating.
These days, all these decades later, he still gives roses but by planting them by the back porch!
They are just as exquisite as the bouquets presented by a young lover so long ago.
DO ROSES GROW IN YOUR YARD?
There is really nothing like them... I love Roses to much tiny ones big ones fragrant ones not fragrant...just love them...love the Red Have a great Wednesday with love Janice
ReplyDeleteYour roses are beautiful. I should love roses and I do, but not in my yard. I can not weed them without getting hurt. Why should I love them? Well, my mother's name was Rose Lorraine, mine is Connie Rose, my daughter is Autumn Rose, and my two granddaughters are Abbey Rose and Lucy Rose. When we are all together (except Mom, who is now with the Lord) we call ourselves the family bouquet:)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
Your roses are lovely and such a lasting gift. I have just ordered two lovely new climbers,can't wait for them to come. Enjoy x
ReplyDeleteI thought of the quote," I'd rather have roses on my table, than diamonds on my neck."
ReplyDeleteI want to grow roses prolificly some day.
Gorgeous red red roses!!! Yes, I have roses pink cabbage roses and this year we just planted pink knockout roses - can't wait to see them fill in!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the fragrance and the love!

I like roses but have none in my yard. I thought they were hard to grown and I remember well the thorns from childhood. Maybe I should try one some day.
ReplyDeleteI love roses! We have four knockout rose bushes here. They grow very well in our area, and ours are now on their "second bloom." They require no special care at all, thankfully, as I am not much for having a green thumb.:-)
ReplyDeleteYour roses are beautiful!
Hi Susan: A lovely rose for a lovely lady. Hope you are doing well. Sending hugs and just saying hello this morning. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteHow lovely Susan. I love roses too. The rain here has been doing a number on the plants...sigh.
ReplyDeleteLove ya,

Love your roses; great color. I do wish I had some roses growing in my yard, but just haven't planted any yet. I think I got discouraged with growing roses when I planted some many years ago in the yard of our first home. They had aphids and struggled and wilted and died. Maybe I will plant some soon; a foolproof type would be good. Your husband must have a green thumb.
ReplyDeleteI have a beautiful yellow rose bush and many tea roses in my yard. I love roses. Yours are beautiful on that new arbor your husband got!
ReplyDeleteHello from Spain: red roses are my favorite flowers. I really like the color and smell. In my garden but do not grow roses in the garden of my neighbor do grow roses. I love that flower. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteMy favorite rose is the Mr. Lincoln. He smells wonderful and is a lovely deep red. Also enjoy growing the Peace Rose and just planted a row of Knock out roses!! Pulled up some bushes that I never liked and planted the Knock Out!! Will see how they do.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo you took of that red rose. I think each color of rose stands for something else - red is for love! sandie
ReplyDeleteAaahhhh, your roses made my heart glad today! They are so pretty, and the color is perfect.....not too orange, not too burgundy, just RED! Thank you for the pictures. I really needed it today.
