I know that I have had several posts about roses the past month, but I just need to post another one tonight. It has been a long week and I am tired, but more importantly the roses are so beautiful this spring after the abundant winter rains that I need to share them.

I have been really watching my St. Patrick roses the last week as they have been the last to bloom. Here you can see a nice green tinge to the outside petals of this rose. I really like these roses.

I have been sending snaps of the roses to my sister for the past week. She was sending me snaps of her tulips opening, so she got me started. I think that she is happy now that we have a snap streak of eight days. I think our previous record was two 🙂

My St. Patrick rose bush has many blooms and buds on it now, so it is really starting to be full of color.

My yellow floribunda rose also has a lot of blooms and buds. It is also full of spent petals from the blossoms on the tree in my front yard.

Every morning when I leave for work and every night when I get home I am smelling my Mister Lincoln roses.My neighbors probably think I am crazy.

These roses are very fragrant and is is well worth my time to Stop and Smell the Roses.
