Five roses
So now I have this new rose garden, with 18 new rose bushes. It was so much work to create it, but the rewards are immense. I love to go out and clip the fading flowers so the petals don’t strew around in the wind. Sometimes I get a little over-enthusiastic in my deadheading and then I have fullblown roses looking at me soulfully in the clippings bucket. I rescued five of these and put them in a bowl of water.

These are so pretty! I have two rose bushes this year and I’m enjoying them immensely.

When the red rose blooms
it’s time to welcome summer
and its sweet perfumes.

Only in Seattle do you get such beautiful roses. Bet you didn’t even have to work too hard.
