And I HAVE!
I brought the last 11 on the weekend, and now I’m up to my October goal of 40 roses for my 40th Birthday, which leaves me just 3 for this goal to be complete!!!

Ok, total is up to 29!! 1 year ago

Only 11 to go before my birthday!

Yesterday as we went to plant the four new roses I pulled out what I thought was a stick…....OPPS!

It was in fact a rose with brand new shoots, I felt soooo bad!! So I replanted that and did a head count.. 29 rose bushes and my goal is 40 for my 40th birthday, I have 11 to go till Ocotber…I WILL do this!

3 More for my Collection 1 year ago

Today I brought three more roses for my collection, all pink, but varying shades.

The Darkest Pink is called “First Prize”
Middle pink is “Hannah Gordon”
and this one is a sweet lipstick pink called “Arianna”

Can’t wait to add them to the family.
Takes my total to 28 roses….

40 roses for my 40th Birthday!(October 11th)

Recently to join my collection was “love” a red rose which we planted for my FIL who passed. And I brought myself a Standard (you know they look like lollipops) “Julia” which is copper, parchment and brown toned.
This now takes my total up to 25 as of yesterday when I went out and counted them all, please disregard the previous posting!
