I love roses too! They are so gorgeous and they smell so good! I love peach colored roses since peach is my favorite color, but I really love the classic red roses, and I've gotten some purplish colored roses before that were gorgeous too. I would love to grow my own roses someday, but I have to wait till my husband is retired from the military so we can stop moving around and plant a garden! lol Your garden must be beautiful!

I remember roses were used in POOJA in our home and since childhood I was just be with roses. Today such roses are known as Desi Gulab (country side roses)in our local languege! But one important thing was my grndma's worship flowers and all such were kept more fresh then all other which were not used in POOJA (worship)! This was one fact and till the date it is a fact for me! Even though I become scientific fact holder and understood the concept of ZVinoba Bhave regarding the age of togatherness of science and spirituality! And then I become follower of Shri Aurobindo and the Mother... In Pondichery Ashram flowers are treated like angels and rose has a special position! Besides all such before 10 years I learned Reiki Healing System and now teaching also. And I found that the rose flower is more sensitive and energy absirber as well as holder too and keepinf energy at least 72 hours after charging with Reiki! So rose become more integral part of self and spiritual process too! I have few stories about healing using roses and those stories have miracle elements too! And yet the rose has so many thing to explore because it has some thing unique!

I love Roses, I adore Roses, I am mad after Roses. I wonder how God has created such a beautiful flower. A ROSE IS A ROSE IS A ROSE. This means A Rose is a Rose only. No other flower can be compared to a Rose. It is the queen of the flowers. Hai Lovelydame3000, is it enough writing about a Rose?

I like roses... But...i love jasmin(Jasmine sambac). In India some varieties are used as religious offerings symbolizing divine hope. It is a symbol of purity, simplicity,humility and strangth. Jasmine has been thought of as the 'queen of flowers'.

I think I've been won over by the rose. I never used to think they were all that great.. too popular! But friends gave me some rose bushes at different times.. red, white and yellow tea roses. And this year they are continuing to bloom really late.. And they're so pretty! I have another taller rose bush that grows around here, but they're more like wild roses, although they're not, wild that is. I had some wild ones too, and they were like a plague! I ignored them for too long! And wow, what monsters! I basicly had to have a sword, well, my big cutters, and a piece of wood as a shield to cut them down! wow. I had some really prize thistles in that part of the yard too.

Yes, I love roses as well. But I have only three varieties of them in our garden. I am not good at gardening, but I love taking pictures of these roses. They look great, smell great and feel great!

Roses are also one of my favorites. I have several different rose bushes in my garden. I also have a couple of climbing roses. One was supposed to be blue, but blooms with purple/pink blooms. Could soil condition have anything to do with the color of the blooms?
