Roses

I was telling you about the rose garden in Spokane at Manito Gardens and reflecting on the lavender rose I grew in Kingston--I've never gotten into growing roses, other than the climbing ones, but many people do. They can be a lovely addition to any garden, take the vegetable garden with the roses lining the outer edge facing the house--what could be lovelier. I visited a B & B in Squim and the owner's roses were being attacked by deer and they had them sprayed with a repugnant sulfur spray--rotten eggs. Now I'd rather not have roses if they smell that way. Anyway, here are a few shots of some lovely roses. Enjoy--Flower
