You know, I never really thought of myself as a rose person, more of a Texas natives person. But, friends of plant people give friends plants and I have been given a lot of roses. The house came with a few too. Here are some of them. They are all very hardy because none of our plants get a lot of TLC. It is survival of the fittest here in the Texas Hill Country.

Belinda’s Dream Rose, given to me by my sister. It has a little visitor.
Old Blush climbing rose. I cannot wait to see this one grow. This is the view from our bedroom window.
Don Juan rose
Unknown variety of white climbing rose. Grown from a cutting by a student who found it growing wild in an open field.
  • Rose bush in the front garden. Another unknown variety.
Cecille Bruner Climbing Rose. One of my favorites. Perfect pink flowers. This picture does not do it justice.
Peggy Martin Rose – This rose desperately needs something to climb on. I must remedy that. Maybe I’ll ask my husband to build something.
Red Cascade Rose
And last, but definitely not least is the cascade rose. This has turned into a monster. I have had to remove plants growing around it on all sides because it keeps spreading…but I love it. We bought this one at the San Antonio Festival of Flowers several years ago.
