What's In Bloom?
April 9, 2005
I went to the farm to plant my species rose garden. I retilled the plot and put them in the ground. Next week I'll bring up a load of composted manure and some mulch. The roses came from Forest Farm in Oregon and they are nicely leafed out. Most were in tubes but a few were in one-gallon pots. Of course, they are not in bloom yet and probably won't have many flowers this year at all. But I took one shot of the leaves of each plant, shown here in alphabetical order. As always, click on the images for larger images in a popup window.
