May Roses, and more


We tend the gardens all year, tirelessly weeding and planting and pruning. And May is our reward. The roses and other spring bloomers are spectacular! We are really having a wonderful year. Almost every rose in the garden is blooming, including a few that I have not seen bloom in several years.  Take a walk around the gardens with me, and you will see what I mean.  If you are in the area,  stop by to see them for yourself, the roses should bloom for about three more weeks.
