I moved into my house in November 2007. There were eight rosebushes that came with the house. I don't know when they were planted or anything about their history, but when they started to bloom in March 2008 I quickly fell in love. It was such a thrill to watch as the buds opened and find out what color each bush was going to be. Since then I've added a lot more. I redid the entire front yard and turned several of the beds into rosebeds. Taking care of the roses seems to have turned me into a gardener. Since I've turned into a rose fanatic, I thought I would start up a photo journal for each of my rosebushes.
