I love flowers of all kinds, but roses have a particularly soft spot in my heart.

I will share with you my roses in two posts. This year they seem to be performing with enthusiasm.

Well, here are half of the pictures of the roses I took Thursday evening. I am so very grateful for all we have been blessed with in our garden. I call our garden the ‘something new, something, old something borrowed (gifted) something blue rose). A lot of plants were adopted, rescued and gifted. Some of the plants were here when we moved in and a few were brought with us from our old home. No formal design, everyone is welcome in our Cottage Garden, very full of roses.
