Growing up in an Iowa farming family, always meant a trip to the garden, and it seemed even if you didn't live on a farm, almost everyone I knew had a rosebush or two somewhere in their yard. When I went to High School we had work/study programs through the Ag class. I chose to work at a local florist/greenhouse and had such fun and learned so much about the care of different flowers and plants, and thanks to an amazingly busy Valentine's Day, the secrets to arranging roses. (For Mother's Day the favorite was vintage tea cup arrangements.)

So when my friend Gina asked me to talk about my garden for some upcoming blog posts, I felt one on cutting and arranging roses would be appropriate. Head on over to Gina's blog, Kleinworth and Co. to check out the entire article, and say hello. Gina is always posting wonderful crafts and recipes, and takes some amazing sunset and scenery images too!

That is such a lovely arrangement in your *newborn* basket. I don't seem to have very good luck growing roses in my garden. But love getting them!! xo
