“Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you." – Richard Brinsley Sheridan
“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." – Alphonse Karr, Lettres Écrites De Mon Jardin
"Wild roses," I said to them one morning. "Do you have the answers? And if you do, would you tell me?" The roses laughed softly. "Forgive us," they said. "But as you can see, we are just now entirely busy being roses." – Mary Oliver, Felicity
“Where you tend a rose, my lad, a thistle cannot grow." – Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." – Alphonse Karr, Lettres Écrites De Mon Jardin
“This rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers." – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
“I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck." – Emma Goldman
“I'd love to have the whole place swimming in roses." – James Joyce, Ulysses

I enjoy your garden photos, thanks for the delight for the eyes!
So many different kinds of roses! And I loved the quotes.
Thank you for brightening my day with your roses and quotes. I love the one about thorn bushes.
All these from your garden? They are blooming already? Wow! They are so beautiful! The fifth picture the pink rose with the yellow middle, my foster mom had a huge bush of those (don't know the name). It brought back memories of the old house. They never grew at the new place. Sad. Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos. It's a beautiful post. ;^)
When I left home yesterday for PA babysitting, the roses were all in bud, but not one open. I am hoping when I return on Friday, they will be open.
What a delight to be treated to gorgeous roses AND delightful quotes! This was "extra". Thank you for the colorful start to my day!!
Such a bright and cheery post seeing your roses and the quotes you've added!!
