When I think June, I think roses…
Last weekend, my one rosebush had no roses on it yet. I went away overnight (one night) and came home to a mass of roses cascading down the spiny arms. These roses are my most fragrant.
This rosebush was the one good thing the original owners left (beside my three enormous oaks). I would’ve planted it closer to the house, so the heavenly smell could drift in the open windows.
Last year, one of Hubster’s friends drove a small motorcycle through the bush. So it didn’t get pruned after growing season. I wasn’t sure how much damage was done. Glad to see it’s as alive as ever!
What is your favorite treasure the original owners left?
Nothing unfortunately. Ha, ha. Thankfully, the guys who flipped the house before my hubby and I bought it, helped with the landscaping by adding some small shrubs. But I think that I need to invest in a rose bush soon. LOVE them!
Definitely get yourself some magic carpet roses, they have such a long blooming time!
The original owners planted apple, peach and cherry trees and blueberry bushes. Unfortunately, the previous owners didn’t take care of the apple and peach trees so we need to cut them down. But we have three great blueberry bushes which we’ve added six additional ones. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m off to look at more of yours.
Lynda, It’s a shame you couldn’t salvage more of the original plants. The blueberries are a gem. Thanks for stopping by also!
