June is Rose Month.

A random selection from my walk home on Monday evening.

    Seeing these makes me wish I had a green thumb.

    What makes you think that you don’t?

    The ghosts of all of the plants that I’ve killed over the years. They remind me that I don’t. :(

    The larger bushes with the smaller blossoms are in Von King Park, if that makes you feel any better. They are professionals!

    Roses do need a lot of attention, which is why I’ve been hesitant to grow any, and really appreciating the efforts of those who do!

    I don’t think anyone can call themselves a greenthumb if they HAVEN’T killed anything.

    That’s a good point. I think most of the people I know who are great gardeners talk about the plants/vegetables/flowers they grew that were successful, as well as the one or two things that they planted that season that weren’t successful.

    Thanks for the location info. Alexa. I think I’ll go by the park (and the community garden) this weekend just to enjoy other people’s green thumbs.
