Roses were my grandmother's favorite flowers and she could grow them like weeds-Lillies were my mother's favorite especially the Calla Lilly. My Father always loved Carnations & we planted those every Easter along with the Calla and a rose bush. When they passed I hadn't thought about planting till we moved out here to retire in a few years. So this Easter I planted a white rose in honour of my Grandmother, I also purchased a Calla Lilly to plant along with some carnations to honour the memory of my Mother and Father. (now I am hoping we don't get any more snow or low temperatures !LOL Otherwise I will have to cover them !LOL).
