“I feel as if I had opened a book and found roses of yesterday sweet and fragrant, between its leaves.”

David Austin “Christopher Marlowe” English Rose |
The pitiful rose bush above, left, was one of my English roses we moved from Alabama back in mid-March. I was so worried that these were not going to survive. But, look at it now!
Filling out, covered in blooms, and making me smile as I look out my window while washing dishes each evening!
I am up to my elbows in strawberries today, but I wanted to share something besides cell-phone photos of my roses right now.

May I ask how you care for your roses? My little knock-out is coming along, but I think she needs a little TLC. What might that be?
