Nearly all of the bushes on our property were planted by the previous owners. Imagine how delighted we were when we spent out first spring in our new home being surprised by what was blooming. Here's is a look at the different varieties and colors of what you'll find in bloom at my house.

Soft and pink


Sunny and cheerful







The bright ones


The ddep colored ones

what a lovely surprise...if you don;t know anything about roses...look them up because they can be hard to keep alive unless you care for the right.

i would hate for them to all die on you!

I love them all - they are those old-fashioned kind not hybrids...beautiful colors and I bet the scent is intoxicating. You are so lucky to already have them as a gift in the spring - what a lovely thing to leave behind - must have been neat owners! Take care. Salud.
