The Flowers Have Taken Over – Pink Roses
Posted on June 23, 2008 – 3:53 pm by admin
When we first moved here, I really didn’t give the hillside on the property too much thought. I just said to myself that I was going to plant some pine trees there. At the time, there were some “unbloomed” bushes waiting for leaves. Some of them were those ever growing pricker bushes.
When I was a kid, we had this huge pricker bush in between our property and the neighbor’s. It was large and really needed to be taken care of because it was taking up so much room. I can’t really ever remember any flowers growing on that pricker bush. Oh, how times have changed.
A few weeks ago, I took some pictures of some half bloomed flowers in the front. I really didn’t know what I was in store for and to be honest, I am quite impressed.
Here, I’ll show you what I am talking about…
This is just a random shot in one of the more clustered parts of th flowers. As you can see, there are some pink roses in there.
Here is a better picture of those pink roses.
Here are a few photos of the whole area of flowers. Pretty neat, huh?
On my way back, I decided to pick Laura a bouquet of flowers. I think this is the nicest one yet.

These roses look a lot like the ones that grew down the bank of my grandmother’s yard. We never knew what they were called and just call them Grannie’s Roses. The house has since been torn down and the bank lowered, but I have noticed that some of the roses have survived and are even growing across the road. They are small roses and have a wonderful fragrance. I have always wondered what their name was and how they came to grow there.
