| I meant to post this yesterday, but my computer had died (fortunately I had a good backup) and I couldn't sign on on the new computer. Fortunately my work computer is still signed on to the site, so since I uploaded my photos to photobucket this should work. It has always been the custom in my family to take flowers to the graves of our relatives on Memorial Day, and in recent years I have taken live potted plants, which I then retrieve the following week. Ever since I have been growing roses, that has been the flower of choice. Here are some photos of my roses on the graves of my dearly passed. Sweet Fairy

| That's a great idea! Your roses are beautiful - my favorite is Red Scentsation. What is the scent like? |

| Red Scentsation has a very nice scent, but not as strong as Overnight Scentsation. It is however in my opinion the healthiest of the whole Scentsation series. Here are a couple of more Memorial Day photos--since these were local I had taken them out the day before the above posts and had forgotten to take pictures at the time, so did so today when I was picking them up from the cemetery. Freddie Mercury. Kind of appropriate for this person, though he would have preferred a rose named Trent Reznor or Tool.

| Nice tradition. I also like the way you show the pot, as well, as the bloom. |

| A rose named Trent Reznor would be AMAZING!!!! I'm still waiting for that one...:0) Trent's the best. Sounds like he had wonderful taste in music...and flowers! May he rest in peace and listen to all the Nine Inch Nails his heart desires!! |

| What a great idea! And your roses are beautiful! |
