This weeks Theme is GROSS

You do realize that the word Gross is french for Large don’t you? Ok well, now that we’ve established that I have a very gross Love and Peace rose bloom for you:

macro love and peace

Does anyone else grow Love and Peace?

It’s a blooming machine! Each bloom grows in size to about 4″ in diameter. My hybrid tea Love and Peach is going into it’s 5th year in my garden this year, and it’s been reaching heights of 5 feet or more the last two years. It always has at least 10 blooms if not 40, from June well into October or even November.

The roses start out kind of pinkish and then they become multi-colored- like what’s that theater production “Joseph’s amazing dream coat”? I find it to be a very loud rose – kind of gawdy in some ways, but between it’s performance in my garden and it’s amazing colours I don’t think I could live without one now.

Be thankful I chose this picture this week – I almost gave you guys a photo of earthworms mating! Now that would have truly been gross!

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!
