About me: I have a wonderful family with 2 girls. We live in Reche Canyon, between Moreno Valley and Colton! My roses have been an essential part of my life. Roses help keep me sane when times get tough. I prefer organic gardening but break that rule when I need too.
We still have family animals Rocky and Mikku our doggies, our cats, horses Lexi and Gypsy Rose. Our newest addition is a beautiful iguana whos about 50 inches long
You are always welcome to email me! I welcome emails from my forum friends and answer their emails as quickly as possible.
In my rose garden I am currently growing: Heirloom, Paradise, Arizona, Mr. Lincoln, Rosy Dawn, Just Joey, Miss All American Beauty, Golden Masterpiece, Hot Cocoa, Abbaye De Cluny, Gemini, Playboy, Double Delight, Fragrant Plum, Fragrant Cloud. Lowell Thomas, Tiffany, Granada & my all-time favorite a salmon blend that never made it to market and has an incredible scent, one rose claims to be Oldtimer but I think it might be something else. I also have some mystery cuttings that are missing tags. I apologize for not listing them all!
