Uh oh, I'm getting somebody besides myself in trouble! I have a lot more pictures to upload sometime.
I started buying roses almost 40 years ago but didn't really go nuts until the 1980s, when I bought an acre yard primarily to grow roses. I planted a lot of roses, many from rooted cuttings (which is why so many of mine are way out of patent ). I also got a lot of miniatures because I just adore the look of a tiny rose. But, I got old and got sick and now regret having so many roses. I still love them, but I have to have a huge amount of help from the spouse doing the pruning now. The spouse now requests that I buy plants without prickles. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have planted so many.
