Faithful readers know that Virginia loves roses so much she named her blog Roses in the Rubble. As the month of June winds down, there’s a special celebration headed this way on the 30th. Virginia’s not divulging much yet, so you will have to stay on tenterhooks till Wednesday. Until then, here are a few favorite rose pics to get the party started… (hint, hint, party infers there is something momentous to celebrate!!!)
A red rose @ Norfolk Botanical Garden
The rose arbor @ Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden
A plethora of roses @ Butchart Gardens
The Italian Rose Garden @ Maymont Park
“Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.” Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr

It’s hard NOT to love roses … thorns and all! Although mine definitely need some tending-to as heat and humidity overrun our area.
Oh dear, what humid heat does to droopy roses (makes them droopier!) Kinda like what humid heat does to redheads!! Cheers Debbie! 🌹☀️👩🏻🦰☀️🌹
Wow, now I am wondering..
