More roses from the garden

Share

The weather has been so nice that I had roses until the end of November!  Lovely.  By the way, these are called “Iceberg” roses (they are climbers) and they are pretty but the leaves are always covered in black spot. Since I won’t spray them, the black spot never goes away.  Our friend’s [...]

My white pots were pretty and the look I was going for but both of them were leaking!  I am happy with the new mercury glass homes for the two amaryllis bulbs, but I am not impressed with the paper whites new home.  Might have to rethink it?  Anyway, now that I have [...]
