The First Rose of Summer...
What a beautiful sight - and a lovely scent. I put in this rose bush when we moved to our house 5 years ago. It is called "Peace" and is a hybrid tea rose. Now, some people think roses are fussy and a lot of work. I suppose they could be if I payed them any attention. But I just leave them be and tuck them away in the garden and I am occasionally rewarded with some lovely blooms throughout the summer. I garden organically, so no pesticides here. I wouldn't want a lot of roses in my garden, but I think every garden needs a few. And peonies. And lilacs. And veggies...
