A special rosebush


 This rosebush belonged to my mother-in-law who passed away many year ago.  Her house was sold and I asked for  a start from her rosebush.   It has bloomed many a year until winter before last when the rabbits ate it down to nothing because of the hard winter and lots of snow.

 Below is a picture in early spring before it started to flower.


This year it is full of roses and a part of Jo still lives with our family.
It is thriving and loaded with roses this year.  I love it and so would she.

May you have a rosy day

  1. Very pretty! I also have a rose bush that I treasue. It came from my parents house before they moved. My dad started it for me. (he passed away 4 years ago). It looks alot like yours. Mine is called 7 sisters. It was in our yard as long as I remember as I was growing up I am now almost 55. I started one off mine for mom for her new place.
