Roses are among several types of flowers we have never grown in the F&P gardens. Luckily, we have neighbors who grow many colorful varieties. We appreciate and admire their efforts and the everlasting beauty of a rose – in red and other colors.
This colorful collection is from the front yard of a home along Main Street that we pass on our weekend walks.
The roses are growing over a split-rail fence very close to the sidewalk. Their fragrance was a blend of lovely scents that filled the air as we passed.
This was the prettiest one blooming last week.Curiosity about songs with rose in the title, led to an online search with these results. Most likely, there are many more.

What a beautiful collection of roses you have!
Perfectly Rosey!
I love roses and appreciate all the different varieties ... but I've never had luck raising them.
They're gorgeous, Beatrice. Such a lovely variety. :)
My Love is like a Red Red Rose -- goes back a long way.

Thanks Linda, Mama-Bug & Daisy, it was very nice of this gardener to brighten our walk and color this blog post too. Glad you enjoyed it.
Ginnie, we're with you on NOT raising them. I don't even have much luck with cut ones and the cost always seemed such a waste cause they never lasted.
Good one, AC, thanks...not that I actually remember that one - before my time (of course).
I´m not a big fan of roses but I do like the smaller simpler flowers the wild ones have. Unfortunately they also have huge thorns that I injure myself on every day :-) :-) :-)
I think those songs covered most of the songs I know rose in the title. I can however put another song on that list from the Russian superstar (well at least in eastern Europe :-) called Miljoner rosor (Million roses in english).
Have a great day!
Christer.
I forgot to write the superstars name :-) :-) It´s Alla Pugatjova.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... My minis are all blooming, but the Peace is just starting to open.
Thanks Possum.
Christer, I like the smaller roses too, but we have never planted any of those either - thorns are not any fun. Thanks for the song title and artist comment too - have a great weekend!
