Girl, Beautiful roses, my favorite flower. You are making me homesick. We lived in Sedalia, then Kansas City, MO and then Raymore, MO for 23 yrs while our kids were growing up.
In Raymore, I had 20 flowerbeds and we owned about 3/4 of an acre so had a huge garden and zillions of flowers. I had lots of rose beds, from mini roses to climbers to old fashioned ones. They were super hardy and so pretty but only bloom once in spring unlike the newer variety. But the blooms were so different from todays hybrids and such pretty colors and usually loaded with flowers.
I even miss mowing the grass. Here you would have to mow the rocks or sand and this time of yr anything you plant dies in a week from the heat unless you water several times a day or more.
Now, go smell the roses for me and have a great day. God bless, happy quilting, and hugs across the miles, Shirley Mae
