My mother died 19 years ago today. It’s never a good day for me, and somehow the day before is worse. I have her beloved peace roses growing in my garden, and I think of her every time I see them. She wasn’t a gardener at all, but passed the love of this particular rose on to me.
I just wish I could share them with her.
If you love any of these photos, please save them, but share with someone you love. I would feel as though you are spreading the love of the peace rose on behalf of my mama.

I am sorry for your loss. As you share these roses with your family and all of us, you are paying a wonderful tribute to your mother. The loss of a loved one is hard, and no words can really help. Know we are thinking of you. Warm hugs
If you and Ron get a peace rose of your own? In my mind, that came from my mom 🙂
Ron really loved the look of yours. We will be getting a few. I will let you know when we do and send pictures. Hugs
My mum liked Josephine Bruce, a deep red, although we did have peace too. No one to share those beautiful blooms with, but the offer is muchly appreciated.
That you like them is good enough, thank you.
Stunning, dear Spidey. I can practically smell them. I think we’ve shared in the past that my beloved dad died on this day also, 16 years ago. Strange coincidence. Hugs to us both on this significant day.
Yes, my friend. Do you also find the day before, knowing, as hard?
So sorry for your loss, but I am sure she will really appreciate those beautiful flowers 🙂
Beautiful roses to remember your mum by. Remember she is still with you in your heart and that is what is important. Virtual hug coming your way.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope the roses bring you comfort as you remember your mama. My own mama’s birthday is tomorrow, and I realize we won’t have so many birthdays anymore.
Embrace every one you get! Mothers and daughters can have such complicated relationships. Send her one of my photos if you like – for me they are a symbol of how my love for her will always grow.
My ‘Missing Ma’ day is in March. 32 years now. As for wishing she could see your roses, I bet she can, somehow… Thank you for the beautiful bouquet you’ve shared with us today.
Thanks hon. She hoped for more, and I hope she got what she wanted. I have roses.
They are very beautiful, I am so sorry about your mom. Sending you virtual hugs.
What a lovely post and tribute to your sweet mom. It is a favorite of mine too but not blooming in this infernal heat. 😳thanks for sharing these beauties! xxx

This rose variety somehow are very soothing – and bring up such memories here, too.
The single bud and the image right below that one are simply gorgeous – velvety, striking coloring, and you can just imagine the lovely smell.
Your roses are wonderful! My Dad died on September 22, the same day my Grandfather on my Mother’s side died….had day for me. I so understand.

So sorry to hear it. September is not my favourite month. Sounds like it isn’t yours, either.
No not really! I love your rose photos…they are calendar worthy
