Up at the VA Hospital in Palo Alto, there is a spiral that is flanked by rose bushes planted in memory of a loved veteran. It is beautiful and I spent some time there the last time I was up at the VA Hospital. The roses are not identified, except for the vet it was planted to honor. Here are a few of the roses. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers reading this. May these roses bring you joy,

Lovely! Happy Mother's Day, Kate!
Beautiful!!! Happy Mother’s Day, Kate!
BTW, Scheid Winery has a lovely rose garden.
So thoughtful of you! I hope that all of the care you give to others is coming back to you abundantly.
Thank you Kate, these are beautiful, I can almost smell their fragrances emanating from your photos. Happy Mother's Day to you!
I never met a rose I didn't like! They're gorgeous and one of my favorite flowers.
I'm excited to hear re: the rose garden @ Sheid Winery. Would that be the one on 101 near King City? I pass it monthly on my long drive to the Monterey Peninsula and now have another excuse to stop there!
Thanks for sharing your bouquet, Kate. I hope you're enjoying the gorgeous weather on Mother's Day.
