How did everybody get started with their rose hobby?
Hello Emil, In the DNA. That is the only explanation. My great-grandmother lived in Scotland and her place was nothing if not covered with roses and heathers both of which I loved when we went to visit. One set of grandparents lived in Provence, nothing but lavender and roses there as well. Another set of grandparents lived in Tuscany, olives and roses there. In 1971 I moved to Portland and many a trip later to their homes my old garden had some of the most beautiful roses -to me- that could be found anywhere. Almost all, just like now in our new garden, old garden roses. After selling the house because of health reasons and moving to a condo by the river I realized that all the views in this world can not rival that of a rose garden in bloom, so in July of 2000 we bought this house and began all over again. With over 170 roses and counting, I can tell you that I am convinced a rose lover is born. It may take some time and detours to become a roseholic, but if it is in your DNA, there is no hope for you. Allegra who still thinks that a life without a rose garden is not worth living ;) |
