Off and on for the last two days, I've been working on photo albums of my roses for last year and this year.

Here are links if you'd like to see.

I certainly have rose envy! You have a spectacular collection.

I have never done well with roses in this garden. I finally bought some rose fertilizer today to see if that is the problem.

Oh my gosh Felix. What can I say? DH and I just got up from a nap, I sat down here at my computer to see what is going on and saw this thread. I couldn't remember a thread I had started with that name. I started reading to myself, then started reading it out loud to DH hardly able to do so with tears streaming down my face and emotion choking my voice. DH said that is so nice. Then I read the other posts and he said "But, they didn't see the junk!" That made me laugh right out loud. DH is my best friend. He encourages me, he inspires me to be a better person. I wouldn't be where I am today without him. Together we have created our haven that we call Plum Cottage. Felix and Sylvia ~ Thank you from my heart for this wonderful post. Thank you for visiting Plum Cottage via the web. You have inspired me to make more web pages. I just made one the other day and will post a separate link to it. Ms. Marion ~ thank you for posting the link. I had to go there myself to take a quick stroll once again. GP ~ Thank you for your kind words. Florah ~ Thank you for liking my shed. I'm afraid it is full though, lol. I hope you will be inspired anyway through pictures. We named our place Plum Cottage because of the house color that we had specifically mixed up by a paint co. We wanted something in a purple/grey color. I took a book with a picture, took a piece of pine bark and maybe something else to the paint place and the guy started mixing pigments, until he came up with a color that we liked. A cottage color for our little 50's cottage. We all have created our own unique havens in this world that we live in. Large or small, formal, informal and everything in between they are all beautiful, created in love. DH are thankful to God the great Creator, for all that we have. Thank you again I am still emotional over this loving piece. Sincerely ~ FlowerLady

Thanks Felix. With all the rain we've had lately everything is pretty lush. Lots of new growth. I want to check out my Blue Sky vine this morning to see how it's doing. Yours is just gorgeous. Mine was blooming like that in it's old location, but hasn't bloomed like that in it's new location. Do you feed yours anything? I just love those blue/purple blooms. Thanks Marcia ~ Duchesse is such a pretty rose. I didn't know there was a white version. I'll see if I can get some cuttings rooted. I have made a couple more of this from the original. This white flower is from a vine. I'll take a picture of the leaves when it is light out. I'm looking forward to getting out and working in the gardens again this morning before it gets to miserable out. Have a great day everyone, whatever you do. FlowerLady

Thank you Henrik for your response. Ljubezen the fact that you even tap into English language colloquialism. I had to research Slovenian, as I did not know that it was a language. And it is spoken by a relative few. So much we learn from communicating by internet with persons throughout the world. I apologize to get off topic. Is there a second language, or multiple second languages? Are you growing roses at multiple sites? You renewed my interest in posting photos here. Maybe in a day or so I'll get some photos up of my rose beds in winter snow. The deer were coming into town until the past few weeks, but now they must have more food in the country than they can find in town. (We are in a town of 5,000).

Mmmmmm, lovely indeed. I've been looking for Dainty Bess locally with no success, looks like I'm going to have to order her online.

Thank you all for viewing the albums and your kind comments. Glad you enjoyed them.

gldno ~ I always have rose envy when I see roses in other people's gardens. You can't have just one either, so it is an addiction of sorts.

Edna ~ I say wow also, when I look at them in the albums. I'm amazed at what I have, and then feel thankful.

Kathy ~ Oooohh is right when they are filling the air with their scents.

GGG ~ They all bloom regularly it seems to me. Bon Silene, Louis Phillipe are real bloomers. The rest are in and out of bloom. I'll have to try to keep track of when they are in bloom.

goldenpond ~ Do you grow any in your gardens? You are north of us here and I know they would do great there.

Annette ~ I had to send away for my Dainty Bess also.

Patti ~ I'm not so amazing, but the roses sure are. ;-) I am enjoying taking pictures with my new camera, well, it's a year old now.

Happy Gardening to all of you.

Lovely, one and all. That Don Juan bloom is stunning. Anyone who says they can't grow roses in Florida needs to look at your pics for inspiration. : )

Thank you Diana. You are a rosarian and I am an amateur.

Where have you been? I've missed seeing pictures of your lovely gardens on your hillside.

Flowerlady, your roses are absolutely beautiful, and I am envious of your photography. What kind of camera do you use? Perhaps a new camera would help my blurry pictures.

Holy cow! Those are wonderful. I can practically smell the roses through the screen. Talk about rose envy.

Jim ~ Thank you. I have blurry pictures also, I just don't post them. :-) I love my newish camera, have had it a little over a year now. It is a Canon PowerShot 650 AS. I was using a Sony FD75 Mavica before that. I wanted something with great macro capabilities. Sierra, a great photographer on this forum, told me about this camera. I am not disappointed with it. I did get rechargeable batteries and a battery charger when I ordered mine so as not to have to keep buying batteries.

bluesunflower ~ Thanks, glad you liked. I wish there was a way to send the scents along with the pictures.

Have a great day ~ FlowerLady
