….how’d you like to stroll through my rose garden?<\/p>\n

The first rose of the year, the burgundy iceberg (photographed Sunday, April 8, 2012):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As it opened and filled the air with fragrance…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gotta love those old fashioned roses. The second rose to bloom was 12′ off the ground — the climbing peace (which has over 40 buds on it …before I lost count!):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was taken yesterday (April 10, 2012) morning as I was out the door and on the way to work.<\/p>\n

Today, it’s a bit more open:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have two orange roses…Tropicana:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plus a tall orange\/pinkish rose that I don’t know its name:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s another blossom getting ready to open on that burgundy iceberg:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As well as one that is much further along:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally… and most definitely not last… “Bud” is back and ready to have a go at it again:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love this time of year for the roses, but not for the pollen. Still… you want one, you’ve gotta put up with the other.<\/p>\n[audio:https:\/\/www.eyesofsilverblue.com\/la-rg.mp3]\n
