Stop and Smell the Roses

This is a photograph of a rose taken outside my Boulder City, Nevada home. Roses bloom twice a year here. They bloom in the spring and in the late fall. Believe it or not, roses do remarkably well in the desert. Of course they have to be watered and fed. Boulder City, Nevada has much greenery. There are a lot of trees and many homes have beautiful green lawns. Many of the homes also have roses growing in front of them. Another reason why recenlty Boulder City Nevada was named one of the best places to retire by Money magazine. City of Boulder City web site.

Further south of you we're lucky because roses bloom year round.

Happy New Year!
