As most of you know by now (since I've mentioned it MANY times--ha), we have 55 different varieties of Hybrid Tea and Grandiflora Roses in our yard. George is the "Rose Man"---and really knows how to grow beautiful Roses.
I've also talked about how blessed I am to get a fresh rose on our table inside most every single day. He always buys the fragrant Roses ---so you can imagine how nice our yard smells --AND our home.
This is my 4th post showing more of our Roses. To see the other 3 posts, go to the right sidebar on my blog, scroll down to LABELS, and click on ROSES 2010. Here are six more today, starting with APRICOT NECTAR pictured above.
SUNDANCE
BEWITCHED
JOHN F. KENNEDY
FRAGRANT CLOUD
GLOWING PEACE
An old Swedish proverb says: "If I had a ROSE for every time I thought of YOU, I'd be picking ROSES for a lifetime." Hope you will enjoy the weekend, and thanks again for your friendship. See you Monday morning!!!
Happy Father's Day to all of the Papa's!!!!
Hugs,
Good Morning Betsy, George certainly is the "rose man!" All of your roses are beautiful and I know the fragrance must be heavenly. It would be very hard to choose a favorite. Wishing you a nice weekend.

ReplyDeleteWhat a talented gardener George is !
ReplyDeleteHe grows some of the prettiest roses I have seen , they remind me of my grandma's roses in England.
He's also quite a romantic sorts...how lucky for you, a new rose on the table everyday ;)
Hope the knee feels a little better, and Happy Father's Day George !
Bewitched and JFK are my favorites here!

Hi Betsy!

Please keep resting that knee. That is an order from your Tn neighbor girl!! :)
It is too hot outside anyway to do anything.

I miss having roses in my garden. I love their fragrance. As a child I once lived next to a nursery that had rows and rows of roses. I was quite young, about 7,but those blooms let a memorable impressions!I think i will get some that can be put in planters on our deck. We live in a rental. Our home has not been reconstructed since the fire.Your pictures out a smlie on my face. :)

Absolutely beautiful roses!

Very pretty roses. Such wonderful garden and captures.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Betsy.
Have a great weekend to both of you
Sundance would be my favorite here! How about a post with Tearoses? Phil doesn't know how to tell the difference, I think I do. And I'm going to post some and ask George on the post if that's what they are.
ReplyDeleteBetsy your roses are gorgeous. Got any tips on how to grow them, and keep them, in this Tennessee clay soil?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - Betsy Rose.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I love them all. I wish I had that many in my yard...I'll enjoy yours tho.
ReplyDeleteOh I do envy you all those fabulous roses Betsy. Your garden must be quite a show stopper. I wouldn't be able to put my camera away. Thanks for sharing so many gorgeous blooms.

Oh Betsy, what a yard you must have. Roses are so great - good looks and great scent, too! You are lucky and both of you are talented gardeners. You take wonderful photographs too.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! They are all so beautiful, Betsy. Your yard must be such a haven. Hope you have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful, but I really love the ones with color variations. You're lucky George is such a wizard with roses.
ReplyDeleteRavishing Betsy!!!! Wonderful photos of these marvelous flowers.
ReplyDeleteYou have to enter one of these in my photo contest ASAP!!
WOW!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses!
I'd love to see your yard at the height of all the blooms. I KNOW it's a feast for the eyes and senses.
You and George have a wonderful weekend Betsy!
Walking through your rose garden with all those heavenly scents must be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorites are the JFK and Glowing Peace.
Have a great weekend,
Judy
Oh Betsy, these are beautiful. Have a wonderful weekend. (((hugs))) Jo
ReplyDeleteGlowing Peace...That's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy, they are all so pretty! I hope you and George are enjoying your weekend.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of your gorgeous roses!
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy,
ReplyDeleteThat Glowing Peace rose is divine!!! But all of them are...be still my heart. I bet the petals on that Glowing Peace would dry very well.
Thanks for coming over to visit with me...I've been trying to get over here to tell you about the party but {sigh}..have been traveling through creative spaces all afternoon...over 450 bloggers are attending this year...last year we had 150 blogs.
In addition to all of the fun of visiting everyone's space....one of the major creative magazines is picking one of us for a feature in their magazine..I guess all of us creative souls secretly wish for that exposure. ♥
I just updated the post with more photos and information..don't know if you saw it yet? Come back because I'm adding more as I get it edited. It was too much to do in one sitting.
I told you I've been collecting for a long time..now you see why I held on to it over keeping things like furniture! haha
Hugs,
Stephanie
I can always get my rose "fix" here at "Joyful Reflections". Please thank George for me and wish him a happy father's day!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
These photos are stunning. What a beautiful collection of roses, George certainly has a magic touch in the garden! The scent must fill the air. Hope you are feeling well. Have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful colors. I'll bet your "pruning" muscles are highly developed...
Gorgeous....especially the ones with the drops of water on them!!
ReplyDeleteThat John F. Kennedy Rose really appeals to me! They are all beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLovely roses...have a good weekend. Trish
ReplyDeleteHow lovely, I can almost smell them from your photos. Sundance is my favorite, it reminds me of one my Mom had in her front yard. Hers always smelled so good.
