Outdoor Wednesday

This is my first Outdoor Wednesday post! Outdoor Wednesday is hosted by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer.

Our winter weather has been quite warm this year causing the plants to think it's Spring! I couldn't believe the roses were blooming like this and just had to take a picture. The yellow rose is peeping out of a scented geranium bush. It's a Henry Fonda rose. I think the English roses are Evelyn and Geoff Hamilton.

Please visit Susan's blog for the links to other Outdoor Wednesday participants.

Enjoy!
Diane

Kristens Creations said...: Hi Diane, What beautiful roses! Oh I can't wait until spring.

Thanks for the info on the shower door. Sherry will be reading the comments so she will appreciate the info.

Market is open to people who own interior/gift shops or are interior decorators. You have to order off the showroom floors and most of the time you have to order in large quantitys and have it shipped in. If I could buy it off the floor, there is no doubt I would be in alot of debt.lol! Kristen; January 20, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Blondie's Journal said...: Diane...your roses are beautiful! It is impossible for me to grow them as my yard is shrouded by walnut trees. :-(

Thank you for sharing!

2 Dogs said...: Hi Diane. I so glad you came by my blog. I really like Outdoor Wednesday. I too have wondered where those chickens have been all this time.

I think they must come out in the mornings while I am at work.

My roses always die. I'm usually pretty good with plants but not roses. Maybe you can give me some tips.; January 21, 2009 at 5:25 PM
