It also came from Great Aunt Chine( our nickname for her)and I think it came from Margaret's garden as well by way of my G grandmother, Cordia Rice Dillion.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04005793994542317964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32009302.post-28865178585413213152008-06-18T19:07:00.000-04:002008-06-18T19:07:00.000-04:00Dee Dee, thank you...I cherish having them so much...Dee Dee, thank you...I cherish having them so much...<BR/><BR/>It's amazing that they stay so healthy because I really let Mother Nature tend these roses and just try and keep the weeds at bay and make sure they have ample water should it get too dry( A problem we haven't had at all this spring). They're so hardy and forgiving..Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04005793994542317964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32009302.post-67020298939989755232008-06-18T11:40:00.000-04:002008-06-18T11:40:00.000-04:00Rebecca what a priceless legacy your great great g...Rebecca what a priceless legacy your great great grandmother and your great aunt left you. The continuation of their roses in your garden is so precious, you are so fortunate in this! Your touching tribute in this post, as well as naming the roses for these special ladies is quite heartwarming, I was smiling as I read this, and so amazed at what love and care can do, to keep a plant going for decades and decades.<BR/><BR/>The roses are so beautiful...the top one is exquisite, and the bottom one grows so voluminously and profuse on the rosebush.<BR/><BR/>There is something so regal about roses, they really are the queen of all flowers.Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810442216887536113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32009302.post-83796021838956601112008-06-18T10:43:00.000-04:002008-06-18T10:43:00.000-04:00Oh my...I especially love that Rice Rose with the ...Oh my...I especially love that Rice Rose with the many, many swirls of petals in the center!Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32009302.post-77919074148385570652008-06-18T10:32:00.000-04:002008-06-18T10:32:00.000-04:00I love pink and yellow roses.

How wonderful to have something so lovely from two special women in your family...and then again to pass on to your daughter one day. I love how you've named them... I gave my daughter a pink climbing rose for Mother's Day two years ago...it is thriving in her garden and she is devoted to caring for it, proudly showing me the heavy blooms weighing the branches down as you described yours...A lovely post my sweet friend....Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03369948264736239411noreply@blogger.com
