National Peace Rose Day

April 29th is National Peace Rose Day. The inside of a Peace rose has light yellow to cream-colored petals with pink petals around the outside edges. It is a hybrid tea rose that is hardy, vigorous, and highly resistant to disease. Rich loved experimenting with his rose bushes and some would have beautiful mixed colors.

This is one of our roses that I never know the name of but it looks similar to a Peace Rose. I love this photo I took in the early morning with dew drops on the petals.

This is another rose from our garden that could be a Peace Rose, it has the cream colored inside petals and pink around the outside.

Whether these are true Peace Roses or not, I still love the colors in them. To me every rose could be a Peace Rose because of their beauty.

Happy Birthday Willie Nelson

Today is also Willie Nelsons birthday! He was born April 29, 1933 and he turns 91 years old today. Willie is an American country singer, guitarist and songwriter. I’ve always loved his rebel/outlaw country songs along with his gospel singing. Happy Birthday Willie, keep singing your country songs!
