Fragrant David Austin Roses are a Must in your Minnesota Landscape
As an intern at Linders Landscape Center in Falcon Heights Minnesota, I honestly did smell the fragrant roses (David Austin) each morning. I remember clocking in and on the way to the design studio, I went slightly out of my way to see and smell the large area of roses that Linders always had displayed. It was always nice to see the full blooms, especially the David Austin varieties. The colors reminded me of the paint palette Monet used in his work. The slam dunk was the fragrance. It kept me coming back and back. I literally was addicted to smelling the roses each day. They made me happy. I continue to do this today in my own yard with roses and other plants I have taken to because of the smell. Get out and get some plants to sniff each morning with your coffee. It just might change your life.
