Why I started growing roses.

These next four pics are from my father and mother inlaws backyard. They came to our house in 1979 and said that we needed a rose garden. We started with 12 and before we knew it we had 300 bushes.

Really just beautiful. I can see why you wanted to start a rose garden. I am sure they passed on their hints on rose growing. I would love to see some pictures of your garden now. I bet they would knock out socks off! Thanks for sharing. Lesley

Beautiful garden! I love seeing old family pictures, beings back memories for everyone I think. Also, really enjoy seeing pictures of full gardens rather than just blooms. While the blooms give me ideas for individual roses, the full garden shots inspire me to create the entire package...its like pieces of a puzzle being brought together!
