    Wow, those roses are spectacular. I've heard that Portland is a great city for growing roses. Tulsa's rose gardens are pretty much wiped out by some disease.

    Have a great day Sylvia!

    Hello There, We just got home from a great week--which was a terrific 'healing' experience for me --as I recover from gallbladder surgery followed by that wicked infection... You'll have to check out my blog post today (if you haven't done so yet).

    Happy Memorial Day to you and yours... Let's never forget those men and women (past and present) who were/are in the Armed Forces and have done so much to give us the FREEDOM we have today. God Bless ALL of them and God Bless the USA.

    Gorgeous Roses... Ours are beginning to bloom now --and I love them all SO much.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

    Those roses are wonderful, Sylvia. I live two blocks from one of the best rose gardens in the country (which you see all the time on my blog!), but it will be two more weeks before the roses start to bloom.
