You know I'm a cottage kinda girl
and that holds true of my roses as well...
I wish I had neat well manicured roses to share but alas...
I pop them in where ever the sun shines brightly...
and the empty spot in the ground is big enough to dig a hole in...
I wish I kept accurate records and could tell you what each of their proper names are...
but as I've said before they are simply named after people in my life...
This miniature white is Gloria Jean...it was given to my dear mother in law before her passing. It started out in a little 4 inch pot but now is at least two feet wide and three feet high. A non stop bloomer, just like she was...
This white floribunda is Esther...named after my mom who just fell in love with strong fragrance of it. I have searched for it at every nursery I go to but have yet to find one for her...
Take this gorgeous, profuse, yellow rose...this is Emily.
This miniature yellow is Elsa...
and this is sweet Laura...
This miniature red was a gift to my grandson Andrew in the hospital at his birth...
I have a beautiful pink tea rose named after my sister in law Shelly...
A hot orange rose named after my daughter Jessica...
And this stubborn yellow is Annie...
Call them what you want...
Plant them where you will...
I just can't get enough of them...
How about you?
Blessings,
Patty

Thanks for stopping by. Isn't it great that your parents have been married for so long too. That is awesome!! Sorry about your Dad's health. Your roses are amazing and so beautiful. I have some roses, but not as many as you. You have such a nice variety. And I like the fact that yours are named after people in your life. That is so special!!! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous pictures. Love & blessings from NC!
All your flowers are so beautiful! I do love those Roses! I just love to plant all kinds of flowers also. Last year I tried some tomato's and they didn't do to well in desert heat! Right now my star jasmine is in full bloom and my whole back your smells wonderful!
Thanks for sharing your beutifuls flowers with us!
Hugs, Linda
Beautiful blooms. I know what you mean. I go around every evening and just look at the gardens to see what is blooming next!

Beautiful roses. I wish I had some good sunny spot for them. I don't get enough hours of sun anywhere. I have one small plant the we planted several years ago and at first it did good then some bugs got to it. Last year I thought I had dug it up and got rid of it, but I guess I left part of the root in the ground and it came back. We will see if it does anything.
I love them. They are just beautiful. And love your names.
Your roses are really beautiful! It is sweet how you named them after persons who mean something to you.
Such beautiful roses. I can almost smell them. Beautiful photography too.
I love how you name your roses. They are gorgeous!..Christine
I think your roses are just gorgeous. I wish I had the sunlight to grow them! Your yard must be beautiful! :-)

Beautiful roses. Love the yellows.
Your roses are Beautiful! Over time I have forgotten the proper names to plants, so don't feel bad. I too name my roses after loved ones, when you look at the roses you think of them. Have a great weekend!
Your roses look gorgeous. I just bought two 'knock out' rose bushes. They are the only roses I have in my garden ,but hopefully I'll add more soon.
Have a lovely weekend

I plant my roses exactly like you do-
and I do not remember their official names.
I just love them though.
How do you deadhead your roses? I have heard different methods.
I linked to FF too-
Come by if you can.
I am now a follower.
We think alike!

Oh, Patty... To be a rose in your garden!
Just GORGEOUS! and I truly love and understand how precious they are to you by their names and characters... wow! Thank you for this treat.
My MIL propagates from clippings when pruning in Jan. she literally sticks them all in pots and see what happens. More often than not some take. I just love informal rose gardens!
