Among all flowers = roses are special to me - I grew up with antique roses blooming from stock said to have been planted by my Great Great Grandfather.  I now have three bushes that survive winters with day after day never reaching above zero.  Really blooming now! I painted this one with photoShop just for fun.  Even our first ladies get in the act: Eleanor Roosevelt said " I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall."

I painted this rose with PhotoShop from a photo.  Among all flowers – roses are special to me – I grew up with antique roses blooming from stock said to have been planted by my Great Great Grandfather. I now have three new bushes that survive winters with day after day never reaching above zero. 100 years from now they may be called Jim’s antique roses?  So I thought I would post a fun quote from a  first lady: Eleanor Roosevelt said ” I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed, but fine up against a wall.”
