Oh what a pity those roses did not do well. At one time before I went back to the bush, I had 102 different species of roses in my garden and it was quite a sight to see when in bloom, but oh what a jb when it came to pruning time. :)SAPhotographs (Joan)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15993474141491808257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525346399682281797.post-54643282282929198112010-05-19T08:48:09.241-07:002010-05-19T08:48:09.241-07:00These are all so beautiful.
