When we bought the house, there were two rosebushes.  One was ok (just ok), the other on its last leg and both in the process of being overcome by weeds. I have told John how Yellow Roses always remind me of my mom & dad.  He gave them to my mom for every anniversary, valentines day....  One morning, he calls me outside.  He had bought two new rose bushes, one yellow.  Yep, I cried!

We are pretty happy with the progress of our rose garden.  We intend to change the  boards to more of a stone edging.  We also plan on adding more rose bushes. The Other side of the large ones, for some reason are strawberry patches....  we have someone who loves them, loves to lounge in them that is...
