Mine is now covering about eight feet of the cottage wall. <br /><br />Hey, "mean" was the absolute proper word. :~)Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-42338339603781893252012-05-27T17:39:42.602-04:002012-05-27T17:39:42.602-04:00That is a beautiful rose.

It has its price to extract from the unwary, and even the very careful…but it's a price willingly paid for suce untamed beauty.<br /><br />You're right, Mom was really an amazing lady—and the older I get, the more I realize that fact. I'm so fortunate to have had her for my mother. She was a real blessing.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-24159112884027001092012-05-27T16:43:18.737-04:002012-05-27T16:43:18.737-04:00Weaver…

But aside from its willingness to wound all who venture near, it's a lovely example. I wouldn't take anything for my cuttings plants.<br /><br />Depending on where you live, we call this Memorial Day or Decoration Day. It's a wonderful day for honoring and remembering, not only those who've fought in wars or otherwise served their country, but the traditional day for visiting and decorating the graves of friends and family. The cemeteries can be quite spectacular afterwards.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-13028515350502162842012-05-27T13:41:27.157-04:002012-05-27T13:41:27.157-04:00It's a lovely rose and I'm sure that your ...It's a lovely rose and I'm sure that your Mom and Dad will be appreciative of what you've gone through to decorate their graves:) Happy Memorial Day!Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-8071483686418553112012-05-27T11:50:56.127-04:002012-05-27T11:50:56.127-04:00Grizz-
