Welcome to JOYFUL REFLECTIONS. Also welcome to MARCH!!!! My header picture this month is a photo I took of the pretty Crocus blooms in our yard... The Crocuses and Daffodils are the first signs of spring here in Tennessee. I am definitely ready for SPRING...

2010 Rose--Part VII


Most of you know (unless you are fairly new) that George and I grow ROSES (Hybrid-Tea and Grandiflora). I should say that George grows Roses --since he is the one who loves them and cares for them--about 55 different varieties... I just ENJOY them... He spoils me by bringing a new Rose bud or bloom into the house most every single day just for me to enjoy.


I have published six blog posts so far showing pictures of our Roses. You can check out the other posts by looking at the sidebar, scrolling down to labels, and then clicking on ROSES 2010.Today I'm sharing 6 more of our beauties with you.

The neat thing about Roses is that they will bloom from early spring until late Fall. YES--they do take alot of work and upkeep, but this is one of George's hobbies --and he does an excellent job.

Above is one called MEDALLION. I love that apricot color. Below are more.

WELCOME HOME




SUMMER OF LOVE (my favorite in today's collection, although they are all beautiful)

We have our first reblooming Daylily in bloom now--just in time for Fall. I'm sure I'll publish pictures of our Fall Daylilies sometime. Love it when we get rebloomers...

Hope those of you on the East Coast don't get the brunt of Hurricane Earl. My prayers are with you all... We need rain--but not from a hurricane!!!!

Have a blessed Wednesday --and remember to take time to 'smell the roses'.
Hugs,
