WEATHER REPORT
from BROOKLYN
it's a
HEAT WAVE
of ROSES
No one ever promised me a rose garden, especially Mr. C, so I planted one myself.
When I first moved into this house I ordered 13 rose bushes from Pickering Nursery in Canada.
I chose them for their scent, age and color.
13 years later 4 of them are still in the garden and thriving. In fact, I need a chain saw to trim one of them, towering almost 2 stories tall!
My favorite is Reine des Violettes, as it's name suggests, a mauve rose with no thorns and recurrent blooms.
