Just got some more updates done. My list grew! not that I am surprised at all! Spring is taking forever to arrive. I need to clean but don't want to clean and take out the protection since it is very cold still!
Having fun dreaming about the garden this year!

Just finished uploading the list. Almost had a heart attack! Goodness gracious I have a problem! I really have 192 roses on this list. Some I have more than one! Like Cronw Princess Margaretta I have 4! who needs 4? and Night Olw is the same.... I have 4... so in fact I probably have 200+ .
And I also have 52 miniature roses... let's see what is going to survive winter. I will eventually post the minis here...

I love these roses. I will never forget last year when they started blooming! I had this strange feeling of amazement. The same thing I felt the day I graduated nursing school. Such a moment suspended in time when all I could see and feel was this rose in front of me and to think that I had planted and loved it. But in fact the rose did not belong to me. It belonged to nature and I have the privilegde to enjoy it and care for.
I love these roses. I just hope to be able to garden until I am really an old lady!
