What looks to be a fun garden blog has just caught my attention.   A Way to Garden is the name of Margaret Roach’s blog and she categorizes it as “horticultural how-to and woo-woo.”  You will want to subscribe to her free newsletter to keep up to date on her gardening thoughts and of course the “woo-woo!”  Click on the link to go to her blog  A Way to Garden

Check out Gregg’s link below to view some of the exciting roses Vintage Gardens is importing from France!  Our rose friends need all the support that we can give the industry.  There are significant costs in $$$ and time involved in importing roses into this country.  We all need to get behind those who are brave enough to buck the trend!

Jon Dodson shared this photo of ‘Dr. Jamain’ on his Facebook page this morning.  Considering all the cold and snow they are having in the UK at least he had this to remind him of the past Summer!

Thanks Jon! I know it cheered me up.

For all those struggling through the extreme cold a bit of old time nostalgia.  Thanks to my cousin David Martin from his facebook page for the link.  The Irish poet Thomas Moore wrote the poem in 1805 and ever since it has been the theme song for the end of the rose season.

Let’s see who can name the rose above.  No prize just the honor!
