| I couldn't pick an appropriate rose for my father but I hope this one will do. It seems like forever that he's been gone.
For everyone who's lost their father, a tribute. I miss you daddy! I tried to resize, sorry it's so large.  |

| What is the name of the rose, Carla? Did you father inspire you to work in the garden? Sammy |

| Is this a Double Delight? It does look like it (or maybe Cherry Parfait). DD was my dad's favorite rose, and I grow several in my yard to remind me of him. He loved his roses, although they never did very well for him. He didn't have time as a farmer to properly care for them, and when his health forced him to quit farming, he also couldn't really care for them either. He only lasted a year or so after he had to retire at the ripe old age of 78. Gone now a little more than 10 years - there are times I still think "Gee, I should ask Daddy about that". I miss him, too. |

| It's beautiful, Carla. I'm sorry that your dad is gone. I miss my mother terribly. Her birthday and mother's day are close together so mother's day is hard. Your tribute is very nice. |
|
| nice thoughts on missing loved ones... my dad died in the 80's and I honestly can't say I miss him. he was a SOB, but sometimes I miss what he could have been... |
|
| The rose is Cherry Parfait. I feel robbed of time with him but what can you say. Sammy, no, my father is not why I garden. I just wanted to remember him somehow. Carla |
|
| Carla you have my sympathy it hurt so when you want to talk to them and they are not there...I hope you are feeling better. I have my Mom and Dad's wedding picture and I put a vase of roses by it constantly. They both just wanted to be remembered every once in a while. I think they would like the flowers. Now I'll go cry.
