Beware Of Chemicals.....Grow Your Own

Nothing is prettier than flowers
from the garden.
Have you noticed  the
Roses we buy these days have
no Rose fragrance? 
As a matter of
fact, they give off a chemical odor,
that worries me somewhat. What
are we breathing?
Most are grown in fields
located somewhere in
South America....have you noticed?
  Breaks my heart .....
If you want a lovely
 Rose fragrance,
plant a few Knockout Roses in
your garden. Insect resistant,
and nature does all the care for growth.
 They will bloom
all summer long, and when you
clip a few, bringing them  inside.....
they last for several days.
Point proven....in photo here.
Even when they wilt and begin to die,
they are still beautiful.

Can you believe Friday is here?
I hope you have a beautiful weekend.....
and maybe find time to plant a Rose.......Dee Dee
