Rose Gardening in the Winter that Just won't End!

Well, it's March 2nd and less that 20 degrees outside. Not to mention the tremendous amount of snow on the ground. Oh, and you can add another 3-4" that fell overnight!
I for one, have had enough Winter!

Thought I'd share a few 'Winter Garden Pictures".  (Maybe I should call them 'Snow pictures", since the garden  is barely visible under it).

This is my Garden Bench; completely buried!

Here is a shot of part of the Rose Garden; I can't even walk out to it; it has over 4' of snow on top of it!

The Rose Garden

 

This is my back yard. There is a lovely Herb garden buried beneath that snow! The path you see was where my husband  went out there to shovel the back roof.

But...what can you do? Waite for Spring, and make the most of it!
While I'm waiting......I made some wonderful Rose Petal Bath Salts from some dried rose petals from last years garden (I always have some saved and dried, ready for whatever project I need them for)!

It is a Super Easy recipe!

Relaxing in a hot refreshing tub with my gardening catalogs and dreaming of this years garden!

 

Have a great day and,

Happy Gardening!

Garden Beauty in Winter

The Garden is beautiful even in the winter months! There is not as much 'color', as when the flowers are blooming, but the subtle hues of black and white make quite beautiful images.
Get out in the garden and photograph it in the dead of winter....you'll be amazed at the beauty within your sleeping garden!

Some may not like the snow much, but I personally am thankful for a nice thick covering of it to blanket, and protect the rose bushes through the winter.

Without the snow covering, the ground goes through warming, and freezing again, and in the process heaves the plants up out of the ground. This could damage or even kill them........so I say......"Snow"  stay awhile and keep my plants tucked in till spring!


Happy Gardening,
Carol
I'm excited to see this working again, so get ready for lots more posts!
