A Breath of Life

I’ve probably posted many pictures of this lovely rose before, but I can’t help it. It’s just such a beautiful rose.

I have this hybrid climbing tea rose planted at the end of our driveway. It’s right beside the small white picket fence and gate that leads into our backyard, and it rests on an arbour that is also in the entry way to the backyard. It’s perfect in this area.

I like the name of the rose too – Breath of Life. With it’s name and the fact that it’s at the entrance to my garden- my de-stressing place – it just seems perfect.

If you’ve recently asked to join the Green Thumb Sunday meme and I’ve sent you the blogroll code and instructions on how to put it on your site, but you find that you still aren’t on the list, please let me know.

Several people each week express and interest in joining our growing meme, but not everyone puts the blogroll on their site (a key factor to getting on the blogroll), or lets me know when they do have the blogroll on their site. Please leave a comment here if you have the blogroll on your site and I’ll make sure that you are listed on the blogroll ASAP.

Thanks!

One of my favorite roses

There’s a good chance that I’ve posted this photo up here before. I’m not sure, but either way it’s a lovely rose photo and it’s one of my favorite roses.

The rose is called Breath of life and it’s a climbing rose. I have this rose growing on an arbour just at the entrance to my backyard from the driveway. I feel that the name of the rose is suiting for both the rose itself and for my garden, because I feel that my garden is a Breath of Life when you enter it, so how very fitting to have a rose by that name greeting visitors right from their start into my garden?

Wishing you all the best over this holiday season!

My Parade of roses

parade

This is a photo of one small section of my garden. I took it a few years ago. The roses are called Parade – specifically Parade Climbing rose, and then there’s the brilliant blue delphinium beside the roses. Doesn’t that blue almost look fake in this photo? Just to the right of the delphinium is a plant called Maltese Cross with orangish Red tiny blooms on top of tall stalks.

Fellow Green Thumbers? I’ve been thinking about it, and I was thinking that perhaps we should skip the next two Sundays? Next Sunday is Christmas Eve, and the following Sunday is New Years Eve. Yes I do realize that it’s also Hanukkah between December 15th and December 23rd as well, so perhaps some of you aren’t even playing today.

I think that many of us might be busy during this time period, and that it might be best to begin our regular Green Thumb Sunday postings again on the first Sunday of this coming January?

I’ve also noticed that many of the Green Thumb Sunday members haven’t been participating as much in the last month or so. Perhaps it’s just the holidays and life being busy, but if you are dropping out please let me know. I also realize that I haven’t been the best at getting around to all of the sites lately either and I’m sorry about that. I haven’t been well and I’ve had a lot on my plate lately too.

So, my message right now is that if you don’t want to participate because of the holidays over the next two Sundays – that’s fine. If you do, then by all means make a Green Thumb Sunday post. I’ll try to keep an eye out to see if anyone posted and I’ll try to come visit.

Otherwise I hope to visit all of you after this Sunday, in the New Year.

Happy Holidays – Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Years!
