Show-casing my friends' roses

I wrote about Vince having to give a talk about photographing roses. While we were at our friend’s place, I took my own photos of their roses. When they had a 5-acre property near us, they had well over 100 roses and on their small suburban block they still have 30. They’ll be hoping to do well at the Rose Show which happens in October.

That’s really amazing. I admire people who, can by any means, grow roses like that, and keep them healthy for even a couple of days. Your friend’s roses are especially beautiful.

There probably isn't a lot they don't know about roses.

@judyev Those are beautiful. I have only 1 rose bush, a white, and it’s gone wild (8 feet tall) and right now it has a shock of white blooms nodding about in the wind.

I'm sure it's lovely. Will you prune it back one day?

I'm hoping I'll gradually get more flowers in my garden. I'd love a garden full of flowers.

Roses are gorgeous. Even better if they have a nice scent, the unscented ones are always rather a disappointment.

You can smell my BIL's roses as you approach the area. It's heavenly.

They will be hoping to do well but they'll also be in charge of most of the arrangements.
