"A Rose is perfect in
every moment of its existence"
~
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My father grew beautiful roses right up
until he passed away 4 years ago at the age of 89. He would put out fresh roses
every day for passersby to take for free.
For our 30th wedding anniversary this year Paul
picked out 14 roses that he knew my father grew (and that we loved) and we
started a new rose garden together. We also received roses as gifts from
loved ones. So, this is the beginning of a new tradition in our family, and a
continuation of the amazing legacy my father left behind. Not all of our roses
are in bloom right now, but here are some that are. We can't wait to share them
with you.
