Antique Roses

[Marilyn]

Gayle, your bush is beautiful!! My mother loved roses, so we had some of these as well as the cut flower variety. We had a pink antique rose like yours, and another that was more of a maroon color that was really pretty. We also had a miniature pale pink rose. It was grown from a cutting from one an uncle had. His was by his front door and he would pinch off a flower and wear it in the button hole on the lapel of his suit every Sunday. We've lost those plants & hubby isn't fond of cleaning around roses. Do miss them. They are so colorful and smell sooooo good.
