Thank you for the pictures and stories you shared with me. There was a great commonality in your responses. Many of you began growing roses because a mother, father, grandfather or aunt had grown them before you. Many of you were inspired to exhibit roses by winning a Novice award at a rose show. Many of you mentioned a beloved mentor who helped you with your early efforts. And most of you mentioned that sharing your roses with others -- either by sharing your garden on tours or giving your roses away -- give you your greatest pleasure. Thank you. |
