Our Rose Garden

This page is under construction, as is the rose garden!

please forgive the links that are not yet working.

As long as I can remember I have always wanted a rose garden
and now that we have so much land to spare, I can realise my
dream! At present I have my rose collection in pots and I hope
to plant them out during spring 2004. My rose collection has
some very old and historically significant roses. Here are some
of my favourites... I've made the image file sizes as small
as possible so the page should load faster - I hope.....
