the lonely corner

There is a corner near the front door that use to be full of small rocks that were slate blue. I thought it looked plain and needed some jazzing up. So, last year Bobby and I dug up all the rocks, and decided to plant some rose bushes. The rose bushes did really well last year, and produced some nice roses for the year. I was emotional as the season came to an end, and I had to cut back the rose bushes to twigs to prepare them for the winter snow that would cover them for almost 5 months.

I am happy to say my rose bushes have come back this year, and are already much bigger than they were last year at this time.

Looking good. Everything looks so fresh and new, right down to the thorns.

I am so excited my roses are about to bloom. These bushes have some gorgeous rose petals, and I am looking forward to cutting me some long stem roses this summer. The smell of roses will make anyone happier in general.

The other kind of rose bush has many about ready to bloom.

Needless to say that bland corner sure does not look like it needs to be jazzed up anymore. My corner looks awesome with all the rose bushes.

I will post more when the roses bloom.
