June is for Roses

 

Would you like to see my roses?

They are in their glory now-

this one is just beautiful now,

I don't know it's name because it was planted

by the previous owner.

 

This is my new "Lady Jane Grey" that I told you about awhile back.

It smells really good!

 

And this is my new "The Ingenious Mr. Fairchild",

and it smells really really good- even our boys thought so!

 

Our Knockout rosebushes are doing well- especially in

the spots where I pruned them back- reminds me of these

words of Jesus:

 

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,

while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes

so that it will be even more fruitful.

John 15:1-2

 

Pruning hurts, but it works!

 

 

And lastly, these pretty miniature pink roses

always give a great show- they were also

planted by the previous owner.

 

If you would like to plant more roses, I was very

happy with my purchase from Heirloom Roses 

this year.  Now if only I could add scent to my blog!
