Road to Roses

A last roadtrip before returning from maternity leave. With summers end near the time was ripe to visit rare rose nurseries in South Carolina and bring back a load of beauties for Meredith and our home garden.

Here are some beauties we admired:

(not identified but pretty pink hybrid musk)


My favorite of the day: Lisboa de 1947. Perfect red rose.


A perfect pink (Rosa 'Desgaches') with cute crabby spider


Admiring roses is harder on Aaron than one would think. His mind works overtime deciding which ones to get, how to use them, etc. I just walk around saying "pretty!" or "I need that!" or "Can I have it, please?" like a little kid.
