Stop and Cut The Roses

Gardening is a great hobby, I know, because it's my passion.  Only my garden calls me before breakfast, in the dark, in the rain, and I go, and I bend, dig, weed, plant, water (especially this summer) and wack pests, like the greedy Japanese beetles that love to devour my roses.

The one thing we gardeners need to remember is that after the runs to our favorite garden centers, after the trades and buys and sells on Craigslist, we need to remember to stop, and cut the roses, and the daisies and the hydrangeas--you get the picture. 

So, with that in mind, I am sharing some photos of the flowers that I've cut from my garden, starting with with I've cut this week.
