"Double Decadence"That's the name of this rose bush. It's huge too! It's a tea rose and smells so heavenly.
The minature rose garden in the side yard. Seems like I was supposed to take a picture of the side yard. Well it's not really complete, but I will take a pic of the progress. We still haven't figured out the whole making a brick path thing. The white rose is "Iceberg", the pink rose middle is "Double Decadence" and the red rose on the left is "Mister Lincoln". The red rose bush we had growing up in my mom's garden. When we were at the nursery looking for these roses I saw this one. It was so healthy looking and had one rose bloomed on it. I just thought to myself... Hmm I wonder if... and it was a Mister Lincoln. I just can't tell you the memories we have associated with this rose bush among others mom had in her garden. I can't wait to get the others we loved so much as children. This has really been such a nice week to come out and smell my roses and see what bloomed. It has been stressful at work, but when I get home and walk outside... everything is better when I see and smell these roses. They are worth more to me than we actually paid for them, let me just say that. I'm very pleased and happy my hubby insisted I buy 2 of them. Together they were $25. You just can't beat that! I'm in love :)
