someday I'll have them again. They're just babies now.

Lovely roses--don't know what I'd do if I had to leave my current roses and gardens--but I do know that one of the first things I'd do in the new place is start a new garden!

Take care of those babies and when they grow up and start showing off, be sure to give us pics of your darlings. : )

Very pretty indeed! Won't you get some blooms this year? I hope so.

How many bushes do you have now compared to then?

If I had to leave my roses, I would only hope that the new owners would take good care of them. It would be like giving away a pet; I'd feel no one could take care of it like I do. I'd be happier with fewer bushes though.

I don't know if I could leave mine. I'd surely do what ever I could to take a couple of my special ones with me but I'd still probably miss a lot of them too. But just think of all the possibilities! It might be a really great thing to be able to start over knowing what I know now compared to when I started this journey. A blank slate can't be an all bad thing!

I started a new garden last year, so they are still babies. I need 2 more to have the same roses.I had 41 in Norman and now have 83. When I sold my house the realtor told me I would have to get rid of most of the roses so I put an add on craigs list for free roses. Since I was having tostay in a motel I couldn't take any with me. I've already posted some pics of my new ones but the babies just don't have as many blooms as the more mature ones. This one is Igrid Bergman . I have a better camera now and have her planted so hopefully I can get better pics.

Oh Deb, I'm so sorry. I had to do the same.

I miss Sharifa Asma the most. With a window open she would perfume the whole house.

Hi, Deb.

I lived in Bartlesville for a couple of years over 10 years ago. We lived about 5 miles east of town, and really liked it. I hope you end up liking it as much as we did.
