i love roses

Let me say that again - I love roses - I love growing roses - but most of all I love cutting off the blooms and displaying them in my house. I'll show you more of that later on...

This rose bush is just getting out of hand - I've trimmed it down a bit since taking this picture and I've also used wiring to support it better.

And this is my newest rose bush. Aren't these colors just lovely, happy colors? I really am pleased with the way this one is turning out because I'm getting a great mixture of pink-based, peach-based, yellow-based and orange-based blooms. Still need to continue feeding and shaping it, but it's coming along nicely.
