My little slice of Rose Heaven

The Antique Rose Emporium. I have posted about it before, but I'm so ready for Spring that I want to revisit it once again. I can't wait to go when the weather is warmer. It's in a quaint little country spot. From the roadside it doesn't seem like much until you enter.There are gardens of flowers you can either purchase or just admire. Some benches and grass to relax upon
It's so peaceful. There is even a little church where weddings are held.I love to take a little picnic lunch and watch the kids play. Then we do a little flower shopping. Come take a quick tour with me.Isn't it beautiful?They even have a graveyard for their broken potteryI love the little statues and buildingsThe roses are beautiful yet I enjoy seeing all the colors of the plants and flowers
The sky is beautiful and you really feel like your in a magical placeAnd make sure you do a little gift shopping before you leave.I hope you enjoyed one of my favorite places. I can't wait to visit my little slice of heaven soon.

    Thank you so much for the visual tour. I really needed the touch of spring since it's currently snowing, as been all day, AND we have 6 inches on the ground already................

    Neat place, SCD!!! The 'pottery graveyard' is CLASSIC!

    Well, you KNOW I am going to throw a 'Ginger' angle into it, right? The 'next-to next-to last picture, a 'close-up' of a large pink flower, looks a LOT like the rose variety they call....Ginger Rogers. Just curious if that is the case...
    Now, I know NOTHING about gardening, and deeply envy folks who do...my aunt and uncle in Chattanooga are BIG into roses...they are in a club and everything, have won big awards and all that stuff...they have 30-40 different varieties (alas, no 'Ginger Rogers', tho...) but I have learned from them that roses are QUITE hard to grow and maintain... so hats off to the folks who can do so...

    Thanks, SCD!!!

    Keep It Gingery! (You KNOW I will!!!)
