Beautiful rose bush and I like the hostas you have planted under it. The roses and all other flowers has been so beautiful this year. I think it is because of the mild winter everyone had.

[Christie R]

I'll bet it has an amazing fragrance!

[Linda]

Wow--now that is a rose bush--beautiful....and yes-and sometimes a lot has to happen to you to realize it-but it is not about things-in the end is how much you loved...

[Carrie P.]

I love those roses! When we move I want to plant roses all around my house!

[Karen Lieberman]

Wow! What a beautiful rose bush! And the color is perfect. We had such wacky weather up here in Michigan that some of our landscape is in shock. We had some crazy hot days followed by heavy frosts. (all in the same week)
