The Garden Gate: The First Rose

Every year when the first Rose blooms then I know that it is Spring. I just love the old Heirloom Roses that still smell like a Rose. Some of the most fun I have had is going to old parks, gardens and yes even cemeteries, to Russell Roses, bring clippings home and root them. My first Rose to bloom this year is my Heirloom Don Juan Climber. It is a beautiful Rose with a heavenly smell.

John F. Kennedy Climber


The John F. Kennedy is a beautiful Rose and 
takes on many different color tones during the bloom cycle.

There are many other blooms here at The Garden Gate that I really enjoy in the Spring Time.

Sage


I hope you are taking the time to enjoy the beautiful blooms of Spring. Let me know what your favorite blooms of Spring are, I would love to know. I sure have enjoyed our visit today and look forward to you coming back to The Garden Gate .
Peace and Joy

    I have a climber rose that we transplanted to a better area. It was here when we bought the house, as soon as it blooms I will know it is safe. Right now, only green. Have a great day Miz Helen.

    Beautiful. I love roses. My Indian carpet flowers have been really lovely this spring. Most of my roses died in the Nashville flood last year:(
