Happy Spring from Our Urban Rose Garden! (6B)
We moved into our historic home on a relatively small lot almost 2 years ago! There were 0 roses then. . . and 16 now (plus a bare root I hopefully saved). I am feeling quite proud! First blooms for lots of these roses.
I never thought I would fall in love with roses; I fell fast and hard.
1, 2: Parfuma Earth Angel — Bloomables via Walmart own root + bareroot, planted in a large container this Spring
3, 4: Parfuma Bliss - purchased potted from my local nursery and planted in a large container this Spring
5, last photo: Princess Charlene de Monaco— purchased potted from my local nursery and planted in-ground this Spring
6: Cherry Parfait — own root + bare root, planted in a large container this Spring. This root was misnamed and sent as an Earth Angel
