I have a very old house, and love to play in the dirt with my daughter (can't get my son to do some help, it seems even a 12 year old who is always looking for ways to earn money- isn't interested in pulling weeds.. It could be the low amount I offered) Luckily my daughter loves to help.. I have a 2acre lot that I'm trying to renovate the 4 main garden beds. I'm interested in learning from other gardeners in my area-

My rose garden collection (so far)

*Alba
Great Maiden Blush- (Ownroot, uncommonroses)
