4/10 - Roses by Rikie

Home, Backyard

Every last one of the rose bushes in the backyard is in bloom today. My wife works very hard at keeping them looking good.
I think she does an amazing job althought she has to fight off diseases every year from other gardens around us that are not cared
nearly so well. There are red, yellow, orange, lavender, pink and white roses with names like the Climbing Don Juan and the Jack Kennedy.
I don't know them all but I certainly enjoy their beauty and the smile they bring to Rikie.

They are all so beautiful Bob, my rose bush is just staring new growth now, it will be awhile before it will bloom. Your wife has done a terrific job caring for them.
