Botanica Roses

My sister in law gave me a Botanica standard rose one year for my birthday and I have been in love ever since. Right now they are in full bloom and bringing a smile to my face every time I see them.


I missed pruning them this year so they're a little bit straggly looking but beautiful nonetheless.


Despite not being looked after as well as we'd like, they always reward us with full blooms of flowers. I have them lining our short path to the front door and get quite a few comments from visitors on how beautiful they are.

Of course, my favourite time of the flowering is the bud. It's so full of the promise of tomorrow and seeing my budding flowers always fills my heart with hope for a brighter future.


Pity the thing wouldn't stay still enough to get a clear shot. It doesn't take much breeze to get them moving.

It would seem you fall in either the "love roses" or the "hate roses" camp from what I've experienced. I definitely fall in the "love roses" camp. How can you not love them???

What about you? Are you in the "Love Roses" or "Hate Roses" camp? Do you have a favourite?
