This is partially why we embrace beauty, knowing this particular beauty won’t last. The flower loses its petals. The chick grows. People we love die. We hold these things in our memories and hearts. In the case of gardens, we enjoy what delights we find today. However, most of our actions imply that we areContinue reading “All things, including gardens, are temporary and subject to change…”

On the Fence (a rose list)
I had to keep myself from pruning in January, but finally it’s time. The Forsythias have two flowers on them. Most people wait for more of the flowers to come out.

A Work Party, the State Fair, and Soil for Cuttings
I just can’t say enough about the amazing people that I have had a chance to meet this summer. For those who have friended me on social media, you may see some redundancies.

March 2024: In like a lion out like a lamb
Life has been a whirlwind of travel, learning, and both new and old projects. March came in like a lion, leaving a very heavy snow followed by strong winds.
Searching for the Old Americans
Anne’s final project was to find American bred roses that had become rare or lost in the United States and “bring them home”.
It’s Spring!
We are all eager to get the 2023 gardening season under way.
The Conservation of Roses
My goal was to make all of the rare roses as common as possible to assure their survival.
How it all began…
Roses have been my passion for the past 35 years. Most of the people who come to my blog at first will know me through our mutual love of roses and the community we’ve built while sharing this love. I’ve wanted a website for my books for quite a while, but never had the timeContinue reading “How it all began…”
