Wild roses

Wild roses are blooming just as you turn onto Beaconhill Drive. There are others in the neighborhood too: way down on Stonebriar and on FiveForks Drive. We usually smell them before we get to them and can see them.
Wild roses and blackberries look very much alike. Blackberries have long, arching branches, and the flowers are not so tightly packed. The roses are denser, both their flowers and leaves.
Be sure to look for them when you're out for a walk or drive. Remember to notice their smell too, they're lovely.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
