Mistletoe, Magic and Roses Part 2

After mom and I left the craft fair we went for a stroll in the rose gardens. Peak time is October but they still looked pretty snazzy.

I hadn't walked around there since I was little. I really have to get out there more. I remember coming for my cousins wedding and for the parade with my grandmother once a long log time ago...when I got to meet the Rose Queen. That's right I said queen...it's a BIG deal :)

Enjoy...




It really is amazing.


Mom loved the red ones 









Just beautiful.




The original old part is my favorite.



Sorry for the fuzzy picture my camera died.




Look how bright these are...

The David Austin are the most amazing smelling! These are the kind I have in my yard but in a peach color.


Paid my respects to the Queen.


Said goodbye...such a beautiful day and a wonderful breath of fresh East Texas air.

Your nursery bedding and first doll were covered in pink rosebuds. My wedding china was Vernon Rose. I think we have roots in our Tyler roses.
