My Roses



Spellbound (hybrid tea) has a deep coral and high-centered blooms. Has a light spicy fragrance.



Simply Marvelous a floribunda by Jackson and Perkins. Dark green foliage with strong antique-rose fragrance.




Enchanted Evening considered to be very disease resistance and has strong citrus fragrance that just take your breath away. Also a floribunda from Jackson and Perkins.


Dream Come True - This beautiful grandiflora has a mild tea rose fragrance, just tremendous!


Below zero rose called Dr. Bromwell, this is our latest edition. Very strong fragrance with deep yellow bloom and glossy dark green foliage.

My roses are doing very well this spring, no black spots, no yellowish leaves, no unwanted insects ( i.e: Japanese bettles). My husband and I have about 12 species of roses planted around our house. We also planted a maple tree and a magnolia saucer last year. Unfortunately, the magnolia saucer does not fair very well. We consulted the local horticulturist, he said it's has an iron deficiency. He recommended a mixture of fertlizer and iron, the result will be seen in 2 weeks. "Till then, hold your breath and cross your fingers".







Beyond the Pineapple


This is a thank you gift, made for our neighbor the Spike-Sterling Family for their generosities. They gave us 5 tickets to the Disney-on-Ice show at the Giant Center in Hershey. Since I have a problem of looking at colors beyond red and green - the brown background used was consider a big leap of faith on my part! My son thought it a cute color for a girl.

The Pineapple



I made this applique after a visit to the Christmas store. A friend told me; pineapple is a symbol of friendship. I will make a few more gifts to friends, hope they'll enjoy it a much as I enjoyed making it.
