"At the heart of gardening, is the belief in the miraculous."

Mirabel Osler

Welcome to a rose is a rose is a rose! I'm an amateur gardener growing roses on a rural property in Australia's Lachlan Valley. If you love roses as much as I do, you will be right at home here, where I share my add-free content on roses, gardens and inspiring quotes. Join me as I tackle the challenges of each season, the fragrance, beauty and rewards of rose growing and country life. Di Baker
