Today I took a drive up North
to Snohomish, WA...
A beautiful town full of antique stores,
gorgeous Victorian homes
and one of my favorite places to shop :-)
(click photos to enlarge)
The Antique Rose Farm...
Almost as beautiful as the roses,
the farm's original massive barn...
The rich colors of roses gone to hips...
The nursery's grounds are surrounded
by lattice fences
and beds packed with rambling roses...
Then there are of course
all the gorgeous roses...
I took a lot of photos
and remember but a few names
so I will let you enjoy them quietly :-)
(Mary Rose)
I have seen so many of you
sharing your photos of the Mary Rose.
I had to bring this lovely lady home
to grace my front porch bed :-)
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend?
I am joining Today's Flowers
and
Susan at a Southern Daydreamer
Thanks for visiting me today!

Hello Bella,
I couldn't resist to shop here.Even the sign is itself an invitation to enter this farm and admire their beautiful roses.
Have a nice Sunday
Hello Bella, Thank's for taking us along on the field trip to the rose farm. They have so many different roses to share. I dont blame you for taking the Mary Rose home with you. She has beautiful cabbage blooms and does quite well in our garden. Have a great Sunday....Julian

Hi Bella,
Very pretty flowers. I just became a follower. Came over from AshTree Cottage. Please drop by when you have a chance. :)
Oh to have such a wonderful place to visit... thank you for taking us along. .. wishing you a wonderful Labor Day week-end..HHL
Hi Bella :) I can certainly see why it is one of your favorite places to shop! How wonderful :) Lots of gorgeous roses to see.
Warmest hugs, Brenda
Good Morning Sweet Bella! What a beautiful "tour" of the Rose Farm! It is gorgeous. I have two old, very dear friends and one of them lives in Snohomish, WA. I was lucky enough to visit her and spend a week with her several years ago. It is an awesome area. That is where I had my first Starbucks. I came home and told MyHero that we should look into starting one of the little drive-through places called Starbucks here. lol About 6 years later they showed up!
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday & that rosebush is going to look beautiful in your yard! xxoo Diana
Beautiful roses! I would really enjoy that antique shop, Bella. It looks so interesting...Christine
Hi Bella,
It looks like a great place to visit! I love the Mary Rose.

Beautiful roses beautifully photographed.
Hi Bella
I think the lattice fences and arbours really add character to the rose farm you visited.
Although a beautiful and fragrant flower, I gave my Mary Rose away because the insects chewed it horribly each summer. Hopefully you'll have better luck in your location.
Judith
I would love visiting that place!
I hope you had passed a pretty Sunday
Hugs
enjoyed it so much another time what a canvas
Hi Bella ~
I haven't jumped ship, LOL :)) My son came home from Iraq so I've been spending time with him and taking care of my grandbabies. I am ready to get back on schedule though.
I love your post!! I can almost smell the roses!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful pictures!! Always such a treat :))
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi Bella! Oh what beautiful roses! What a wonderful trip! What awesome photos! :) I,too, have a Mary rose which I love dearly. In the spring when it first blooms, the fragrance wafts all over the garden. It's lovely! Then, like Judith at Lavender Cottage,the bugs eat it to smithereens the rest of the season. :( I hope that you have better luck with it than I do! :)

I need to go there!! I recently tried to buy a rose at another local nursery and they hard hardly any!
So many beautiful roses! Thank you for sharing!
What beautiful roses you have. Mary Rose is new to my garden this year. I hope it turns out as pretty as yours......
So much beauty in different colors and shapes. What a wonderful place to visit!
A few of my roses are getting buds again, and I am so excited about it.
Just discovered your blog, came here from A Gardener in Progress. Great pictures of roses, very pretty! Your other posts look like just my cup of tea.
What a nice place to visit¡
Have a nice week.

Oh, what beautiful roses! I have such a weakness for roses...especially pink roses.
Thank you for taking us along to the rose farm.
Oh I want to visit that area so badly!!! The photos of your roses are amazing. And I ador that old barn. Thanks for sharing!Charlene
Beautiful roses! I really like the delicate pink ones. They must have all smelled so fragrant.
Oh I also see that my friend Karen Valentine did some design work for you too. Beautiful Banner!!! Those foxgloves are breath taking. Is that your house/garden? And the cake on your side bar stunning!!!! Charlene
Beautiful, Bella. ~ Sarah
So nice to still see the color and beauty-enjoy!
Roses are always a joy to behold. Nice post.

Hello I am a new follower from the OW. I would love a follow back at http://megankayden.blogspot.com/
How beautiful--I grew up in Marysville, WA. (just north of Snohomish) these shots remind me of home!
Beautiful roses and wonderful photos. I love that big old barn!
Hi Bella!
Beautiful pictures! Lucky you to have such a wonderful place to visit and shop. I am in total love with that old barn.
I see them from time to time in the area where I grew up (I grew up in the sticks--dairy farms everywhere!), but not so many as you'd think. Not many farms had the really old barns like that anymore. I wish I had a much bigger property, on the edge of town, so I could have a barn just like that one!!!
Wonderful stroll through the Rose gardens. Thanks for sharing your pictures.Have a blessed week. Debbie
I love your photos...so pretty. I can look at roses all day. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Bella!
What a beautiful place! What a great barn. I can just imagine how wonderful the farm smells! I especially love the white roses.
Thank you for the tour of the Antique Rose Farm!

Your blog shows the most beautiful romantic rose garden. A joy to visit.
What a wonderful place....the roses are all so beautiful! I'm glad you found one you liked to take home with you!
