I believe that the name of the white rose that you are looking for is "Absolute". It's supposed to be a new introduction this year so you may have trouble finding it. Cherrie

The show is open to both beginning and experienced rose competitors, and all are encouraged to bring their blossoms to exhibit. A variety of categories are available for entry, including a novice section designed for those who are new to participating in rose shows. The categories include various combinations of blooms and styles of display for many kinds of roses including hybrid teas, grandifloras, polyanthas, climbers, shrubs, miniatures, and old garden roses. A separate division is dedicated to various styles of rose floral arrangements. Entries are accepted at the show location from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on the day of the show, Saturday, May 3. The public is invited to "stop by and smell the roses" from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. The Senior Center is located at 799 Pine Ave. in Carlsbad.

Choosing white paint to cover your pieces was the perfect choice. They pop in the garden so they can be appreciated.

Your bed of roses is gorgeous. And the white makes the pink & red pop. What an interesting bench(?) in the background. Can you sit out there & have a kup_a tea while smelling the roses?

Yes, it's a great place to have a kuppa first thing in the morning in the summertime, and to watch the sun set in the fall. But bring a plastic lawn chair. The bench is sturdy enough to sit on but not so comfortable. A man from around here made it. The frame is twigs.

I've had the bed forever. Got it for 5$ at a yard sale in WI, years ago. The birdbath and upside down pot it sits on were here in the yard when we bought the place.

I love the pig, too. It was last year's Christmas present to myself. I initially wanted two of them, with the idea to make "the entrance to the rose garden flanked by a pair of winged pigs" (like on either side of an arch), but it was the only one they had in the whole town, I think, so plans changed.

It was starting to get dark when I took these pictures. The sun being low in the sky makes the white stand out more too. I was out covering up my little lettuces getting ready for the first big freeze Monday night. Came walking back through the rose garden and realized I better get a picture of this pretty scene, it will be a while before I see so many flowers again.

I'm so glad you all liked it.
