Everything’s rosey…

This spring I made my first attempt at growing roses.

I started with a “Sexy Rexy” rose bought on sale at a local store’s gardening center.

She’s only about two feet tall, but she’s blooming like crazy!

After that I really wanted a David Austin English rose and I wanted a white one.

They can be kind of spendy though.

Heirloom Roses has them for a great price, but they are still “babies”. 

When I bought my David Austin Glamis Castle Rose from them it was only about 8 inches tall.

I figured it would be years before something that tiny could produce an actual flower,

but look what I found when I got home from vacation!

I feel like a proud “mama”!

Isn’t she pretty?

  4. Love your roses! Did you know Heirloom Roses had a half price sale last weekend? You might call them and see if it's still on. Thinking your wish might come true for more roses.
