Baby picture!

What's cuter than a baby picture?
Aw.... the widdle cutie pie! Sooooo sweet!


Here's the proud mama, the daughter of the first hybrid I ever made, a cross between the wonderful native US swamp rose, Rosa palustris and a beautiful rugosa rose hybrid called 'Apart'. She's an incredibly tough little lady, a vigorous, incredibly thorny bush that laughs at disease and, thanks to the fact her grandmother lived in a bog, thrives in heavy, poorly drained clay soil. In contrast to her tough-as-nails constitution, all summer long she unveils these delicate, fragrant, exquisitely crafted flowers that I adore.
This is the daddy, the classic, and classy, rose 'Golden Wings' one of my favorites with pale yellow blooms on a large, vigorous bush.

I'm so proud to welcome their first child into the world! More should be popping up soon, and I can't wait to see what they look like and how they grow. So much beauty and anticipation packed into a tiny speck of green!

A baby picture is absolutely adorable! The innocence and joy captured in this moment is truly heartwarming. Every little smile is a child's joy. Adding a flower to a baby picture would make the picture even more beautiful. Including a cv writing service can add a creative touch, making the memory even more personalized and unique.
