CARLA, I think Buford was ahead of herself by one day. I just
looked on your page, and your birthday is on the 23rd. Oh well,
we will celebrate your birthday for two days this year.

Happy Birthday Carla!

Happy Birthday, Carla! You're such a sweetie for always keeping track of the birthdays in this neighborhood and I hope that your birthday is a terrific day. Indulge yourself in your favorite things - you deserve it!

I hope your birthday is great, and that Natalie feels better very soon.

You are wonderful.

Sammy

happy birthday Carla and I wish you - lots of rain!

{{gwi:331934}}

Okay I have to ask Adrienne. Is that rose in your picture Night Owl? So pretty. They are all gorgeous but for some reason that one caught my fancy.

Kate

Happy Birthday, Carla,
And if I don't get the heavy rain, I'll let the Carolinas get it, maybe.
Ann

Beth, what a wonderful dahlia! LOL! You have energy to grow dahlias in addition to 1500+ roses (who is counting?)

Has that first Dahlia a name?

Hi guys!
Since you asked, it's 'Rhapsody in Blue'
A new one I got this Spring at Raft Island Roses.
Incredible color! I really like it. Bloomed it's head off all summer too.
I don't have 'Night Owl' yet Kate. Really like it though. I almost put it where I put 'Awakening,' this summer.
I got 'Awakening' since I already have so many purples. (I love 'Awakening' so far)

{{gwi:331935}}

Carla, you're a star! Happy Birthday to you.
{{gwi:331936}}
Kathy

Carla,

Happy birthday! And may you blossom and bear fruit for all the year to come!

Melissa

Happy, happy birthday dear Carla,

{{gwi:331937}}

I may be one of the first to wish you a happy birthday on the day, ha,ha!
I certainly was fooled and thought I was late there for a sec. I have had a big notice by my computer since before I went away. "BD Carla 23rd", but you know, this was a great idea of Buford as look how many people were all here to greet you for the big day!

I wish you rainy nights and sunny days with lots of love and happiness thrown in.
Big hug,
Pauline - Vancouver Island

To our very thoughtful and sweet Carla, happy birthday, my dear friend.

I hope this was a wonderful birthday for you. I tried to get here last night, but the ad for Pepperidge Farm kept blocking me every time I tried to post. I so apologize to you for being late.

You are always so so so so so thoughtful to make sure everyone has a happy birthday.

I hope you will have GREAT news from your trip on Monday. I know you will.

Again, happy birthday, and what did you get from your family? I hope a very nice day and something pretty, something flavorful, something new, something green that folds, so that you can buy something you really love!

I woke up to all these beautiful bouquets, how wonderful.
Thank you Pete.
Anne, you have touched my heart! I love the bouquet and wish I had it here to admire. Thank you dear one.
Sunnishine, Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day.
Sam, I love the roses, thank you.
Judith, Thank you for the lovely bouquet. I just love bouquets!
Sammy, is that Quietness? Whatever it is, it's beautiful. I think you are wonderful too! I appreciate the thoughts.
Ceterum, that is a beautiful photo. We did get more rain. Thank you!
Ann, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. What a great friend and teacher you are! We are so lucky to have you in our lives. Thank you for the rain!
Adrienne, that RIB is too beautiful.
Kathy, thank you. I'm so glad to know you. Would love to meet you in person. Your roses are incredible.
Melissa,thank you for the wishes.
Pauline, you have been holding out with the dahlias. Did you know I'm crazy about them and yours are SO pretty. Spiders, I love them. You are a dear sweet person. I appreciate your friendship.
Patricia, I did receive some folding green stuff.LOL I haven't gotten any presents yet from the family. I treasure the times we've spent together. Remember the suv and the islands? LOL LOL. That was such fun!!! Thank you Patricia.

{{gwi:313404}}

Thank you Celeste. Your roses are gorgeous. I love the form on Rouge Royale. Celeste, how many roses do you have?

Carla

Carla,
You know, I should go out there sometime and count them all...I really don't know just how many there are! I know I have well over 200 mature bushes, (possibly 250) but if cuttings I've rooted and suckers taken on our rose-rustles count, then I have closer to 300. Yikes....I have no idea where I'll put them all. And there's so many more I just HAVE to order for Spring...lol.
Celeste

Rainbow, what a pretty rose. Thank you.

Carla

Carla--I just dropped in to look at all the beautiful roses you got for your birthday----

You sure are one lucky lady----

Hope you had a grat day.

Florence

Florence, it is nice to have so many well wishes. Makes a person feel good.
