OK, I got a couple of pictures before the Running of the Roses. There was over a hundred people this year versus like 15 last year (bad snow storm). I ended up getting totally different roses than I had planned. I wasn't impressed with Sweetness... I don't see a difference between that rose and Blue Girl. And, Sweetness is a J&P rose and I don't like J&P roses.. they just don't grow worth a hoot and a hollar for me. I ended up getting a Firefighter, Gingersnap (I believed mine was dead), and DH chose Ch-Ching!. All of these are Weeks roses, and I love Weeks.
Here's 1 picture before the "Running of the Roses".
