Triple Threat of Roses - 04/25/12 02:28 PM
These three roses are all on one stem. This rose bush has produced an explosion of roses this year.


This rose produces a wonderful fragrance and I have clipped about 5 vases worth of flowers this year.

Each vase has had at least this many roses in it. We have them in the entry way and on the breakfast table and formal dining room tables. The center of the house smells wonderful!

More Roses From My Yard - 04/16/12 03:08 PM
More Roses From My Yard

Again, I don't know the true name of these roses, but it is a pretty yellow and has a wonderful smell.

All four roses (three types) come from my yard.

I think this is a Joseph's coat. It is the only one that was selected for looks. The other four in my rose bed were selected for their fragrance.

This one bloomed first and didn't last long enough to make it into the vase.
