Roses in Our Garden
We are experimenting with growing roses.  With limited room and experience we are beginning to have some success.
Visit some other flowers!    Climbers, Romantic Roses,
    Mini Roses, Patio Roses  or  More Roses!

A rose is an argument. It proclaims the triumph of beauty over brutality, of gentleness over violense, of the ephemeral over the lasting, and of the universal over the particular. The same rose bursts into bloom on the North Cape and in the Sahara desert. Alain Meilland
