Jennie sends up a photo of her rose. “It is ‘Memorial Day’, a hybrid tea rose! When my Dad died it was given to me by my MSUE office colleagues, and while I would not have chosen a tea rose, it was the 2004 All-America selection and earned the award for being both disease-resistant and fragrant. It is both and I am glad to have it. The photo was taken on Memorial Day 2012.” What a beautiful rose! It’s just so full of bloom.
Sam DeCola from Temperance Mi sent us a photo of his Knock-out Roses. Sam is interested in becoming a Master Gardener. He has the perfect job too, he’s employed at the nursery area of Andersons. The roses are a nice contrast to the fence and accent to the petunias. Beautiful photo.
Don’t forget to include your favorite rose, or photo for next Friday’s Edition
