Spring Thoughts In Winter's Doldrums

                                                Rose blooming in my garden last spring

Growing Roses like a Samurai
                                 Care being taken 
                                 To prune out the deadheads
Hybrid Teas dominate, the Chrysler Imperial being a favorite
Though the Mister Lincoln 
             With those vibrant velvety red blossoms
             May have to be introduced in the garden
There are 6 plants facing south 
Bathing in the sunlight
                     Memorium, with it's soft white to pink petals
                     Kentucky Derby, dark red and vibrant
                     Garden Party, a classic white that never fails
                     The Chrysler Imperial, big and bloody red
                     Peace, fragrant, tough, and incredibly yellow
                     Oklahoma, dark red and durable
These roses are Mother Nature's art
beautifying the front of the house
Just like a pagan temple in ancient Babylon
