Mable's Roses

Mable Ringling loved roses. On the grounds of the John and Mable Ringling Museum stands her rose garden and while none of the roses she planted in the early 1900's survived, there are some 1200 plants there now in the design she laid out then in a traditional Italian circular design. Roses of every variety and color are there and it was just amazing to stroll through.

It is so apparent after seeing all these varieties of beautiful roses that God loves to create...and show off a little, too. I'm so grateful for that.
