A Day in the Rose Garden Tour

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for the beautiful comments on Mother's Day! I went to breakfast with my daughter and two granddaughters.  While we waited we enjoyed a scone and a delicious cup of coffee. We shared Eggs Benedict which is my all time favorite and we visited about the school year coming to an end soon and planned some of our summer activities.  I'm looking forward to having the girls spend some quality time with me this summer.

Wow!!! OMG... It's Monday and I have so many things to share with you.  This past Saturday I went on a garden tour.  A dear friend of mine is a Master Gardener and has a home and garden on 2 acres.  She is a member of the American Rose Society in our community and this year she was asked by the club if she would have "A Day in the Rose Garden Tour " at her home. And as they say in blogland~

"SHOW OF YOUR COTTAGE"

The idea was to build a potting shed, but the 'Rose Cottage' is now a flower arranging shed and garden storage shed.  Sure it's a shed.

 But

WHAT A SHED!!



As I toured the garden I noticed a mixture of annuals and perennials.

The weather was a perfect 77 degrees and slightly overcast. The visitors and flowers were all very happy.

The local Rose Society at one time required all rose garden tours to place the name of the rose on a black marker.  But as times change so do rules.  I photographed the markers if I could.  And this fabulous rose is 'Livin Easy'

One of my favorite roses

and

A Wishing Well. Oh! how cute.

I love this photo with the water flowing out of the faucet.

Not to mention the most incredible rose garden

Now isn't this the cutest fairy garden.  I just love the fairies and the red mushrooms are so whimsical.

This is the flower arranging counter

I want this table and chairs.

The 'Rose Cottage has a beautiful tile floor and plenty of storage space under the arranging counter and behind the door.

This garden is considered a shade garden.  With the valley heat during the summer this garden is a beautiful and cool space to entertain family and friends.

The grounds were planted around 1977 and 9 weddings have been held in the garden over the past 35 years.

Awesome!



Another wonderful space for entertaining.

My goodness~ I certainly enjoyed your company on "A Day in the Rose Garden Tour" now I want to buy all those roses for my yard.  LOL!!
