Hello friends, we had an interesting walky round this rose garden today. The nice thing about rose
gardens is all the crumbly flower beds, which are great for digging in. During my younger years
I would have wanted a little dig when Dad's back was turned. I expect the gardener would
love to find a hole dug in this flower bed, don't you?

Dad: It seemed appropriate for the 70th anniversary of VJ Day to share a pic of Pooch admiring
these 'Peace' roses - I have to defer to others' knowledge of the history of roses but I seem to
recall that the 'Peace' rose is for some reason particularly associated with WW2...
If you would like to see some more rose photos from today I've uploaded some here: http://www.pbase.com/poochdad/roses
