She sure did have a green thumb. When we dug it up to move it in 1970 I swear the root went down to the equator. We dug the root some 6 feet from under the back porch before we had to cut it.

Thank you so much for sharing the pics of the beautiful roses. Yellow roses were always my mums favorite. My mum passed just 3 months before I graduated from nursing school. When I came off the stage after getting my diploma, my youngest daughter met me with a bouquet of yellow roses, and told me she knew her gram was looking down and smiling.
Thank you for sharing your story and bringing a happy memory back to me.
