For the last 6 weeks or so I have literally been a caretaker for Roses. At work we had a huge order come in of at least a hundred different varieties, some had been ordered by customers and the others needed to be repotted and placed in groups out in the yard.
We have sold quite a few and although I bought one for myself named "Catherine" which has lovely big pink flowers and I planted some Golden Marjoram underneath it for some contrasting colour. That particular name is in our family - it's my middle name, my daughter's middle name, my grandmother's name, her mother's name and her grandmother's name so it goes back a few generations.
Can't wait until it starts blooming. Linking up with Our World Tuesday, My Corner of the World and Wordless Wednesday.

Sounds perfect for you. Roses are delightful in the summer. Let's hope it is covered in flowers by then.
...the heat has done in the roses here!
It's late Winter/early Spring here but I've got mine potted up in a good spot in the corner of our deck where it gets part sun and part shade.
Thank you Amy Catherine for sharing your lovely roses and the family history of your middle name. It’s a lovely one. All the oldest girls in my moms family were named Sallie for at least three generations before me, but I broke it because I was young and rebellious when our daughter was born (so, in fact, did my cousins. Nobody named Sallie anymore). Thankfully . Catherine, though, is one of those names that never goes out of style. Lucky you, so is Amy!!
Your rose looks nice and healthy. They are early this year.
Well I don't know, since Keri has very mild temperatures it could be that this is the norm for them.
Thank you Sallie, that is the nicest comment ever :-)
...and whiskers on kittens...We hope your rose thrives to honour all the Catherines in your family - and is still there in a generation or two.
Beautiful macro shot of a lovely rose ~ ^_^

Such a pretty photo! You will have to show us the blooms on your Catherine rose when it blooms.
Your rose is lovely, very pretty. Hopefully it will grow nice and healthy. Wonderful story about the name Catherine in your family's history. My grandmother, mother and sister are all named Grace. :)
What a beautiful rose already; I can only imagine how beautiful it will look once fully bloomed!

A wonderful shot.
There is something really beautiful and moving to me of raindrops on flowers and leaves.
Roses are such a wonderful garden flower! How cool to have one with your name :)
It's awesome to see you at 'My Corner of the World' this week!! Thanks for linking up.
Beautiful color. Yes, we all need a little raindrops on roses.
Happy Wordless Wednesday!! This is such an excellent photo of this rose plant. We were going to plant some this year outside of our office but will next year. Thanks for sharing this wonderful post. Have a great day.
