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

"A garden is not a place it's a journey"
Heirloom Roses
“You must fail at gardening to master it.”
"The fragrance of the rose lingers on the hand that casts it"
“Turn off the news and get into the garden!”
"I'm not a garden expert in any sense of the meaning, only someone who blunders about in the shrubbery."
And they're off...
"If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness."
