Hello, my name is Joanie, aka ROSEQUENE on aol. I live in Temecula, CA, wine country, just an hour north of San Diego. An online friend suggested I create a webpage. So, here goes! First off, I'll tell ya a little bit about me. I'm 35 yrs old, married to a wonderful, caring man. His name is Chris. We have only one child (at the moment-lol). His name is Casey, he's 4 yrs old. Hobbies include, well of course, roses! I have to date, 173 roses in my garden(s). This year alone, I went from 60 to the 173 roses I now have. I also make crafts, door wreaths are my specialty, but I'm venturing into making rosebud topiaries. I dry my own roses, once they've bloomed on the bushes, to create lovely, neat little trees. Of course, I also make potpourri! Being a rose lover--I gotta make them last forever. I also make rose bouquets from my garden. With 173 roses, I have a great selection of homegrown garden roses and fillers to create beautiful bouquets from. This is the first year that I have tried this, and with quite a bit of success, may I add! : ) I have alot of fun making my crafts and bouquets. I used to do daycare in my home for four years and now that I do this, it's alot more fun. I'm doing something that I truly enjoy and it's not alot of hard work, as was daycare. | ||||||||||||||||
| THE GIFT OF A ROSE | |||||||||||||||||

There is no lovlier, more meaningful gift than a rose. Full of fragrance, swathed in delicate petals and blooming in a profusion of translucent and fiery colors, the rose can evoke a message of friendship, beauty, or passion. With all the roses in my garden to choose from, I can always find the perfect one, one that speaks my language. So, in this tribute to the rose, I hope that you find a few messages that you would like to send to the special person(s) in your life. "We can not only have roses at our feet but beside and over us...only the rose lover can entirely surround and enclose himself in the heart of his flower." Walter P. Wright "It is impossible to imagine the world without the rose, for it has been adorning the earth since time immemorial, cheering man from his earliest years..." Claudia Binelli "Old roses are living reminders of our heritage. Every spring they create anew their colors and perfumes, and in their vigor and grace, they keep our past ever young." William C. Welch "Sometimes when you are perplexed and overworked, stop to remember all the people who are suddenly young and happy at the sight of your rose bushes in full bloom." Anne Cogan "The rose scent is there for you to enjoy, to inhale slowly and deeply, to almost drink in. Pick a fragrant rose just to have it near you." Deane Ross "The world is a rose; smell it and pass it on to your friends." Persian Proverb "A rose-grower, collector or rose enthusiast is not like other collectors who shut themselves up and lock away their treasures. On the contrary, he possesses such an abundance of prizes that he can afford to distribute much of his wealth..." Svend Poulsen "There is no flower that will better repay the care and attention bestowed on it than the rose..." George Mount "Roses are, without the slightest doubt, fascinating, flirtatious and outrageously feminine." Sean McCann | ||||||||||||||||
