As the days get longer I find my mind yearning for things that are colorful, fragrant and green. You see I am a gardener as my mother and grandmother before me. Mom, now seventy-eight loves to garden prompting me to search for ways to make her favorite passtime more pleasurable and easy.
Roses are our flower of choice as they hold a special place in our hearts.
Not only for the cold winters they must endure but also for the bugs and diseases that plague them. You see these roses are no harder to grow than any other garden plant. Give them what they need and they will graciously repay you. Good, rich soil from which they can feed on and lastly, water. No living thing can go without water and roses are no exception.
