Roses do great in Houston! Are you a rosarian?
Have you ever been to the Awty International School campus at I-10 and N. Post Oak? All the walkways are framed with rose bushes - still in bloom at this time of the year… It is just beautiful and so fragrant to walk around the campus! The same goes for St Anne’s Catholic Church/School at Westheimer and Sheperd. Roses are quite delicate and they need the exact amount of water and sunshine – and pesticides to prevent fungus in the humid Houston summer. However the gardeners at these 2 places are doing an amazing job. I have a rose bush in a pot that I purchased a couple of years ago. I forgot the name of it, but it is purple and so fragrant.!… I could not resist but photograph 2 of the blooms last week to share with you. I wish I could transmit scent over the Internet…
What’s your favorite rose?
