The Month of May is dedicated to roses, roses, roses! Take a look around you and everywhere you turn, you'll see the incredible beauty of roses!

This beautiful apricot colored rose is a Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa hybrida) and looks gorgeous next to this white picket fence

This beautiful pink Dog Rose (Rosa canina) sports a more open face and looks stunning against - you guessed it, another white picket fence!

These homeowners here have used a stunning pink China Rose (Rosa chinensis) to cover their fence, while allowing a peek-a-boo glance into their front yard.

This old brick building is graced with a soft yellow Lady Banks Rose (Rosa banksiae) climbing its walls (no white picket fence in sight!).

Even the local Safeway has joined May's parade of roses with this profusion of climbing roses known as Japanese rose (Rosa multiflora). A simple pergola covered with these beauties, makes for a great spot to sit and take in their soft pink petals and their intoxicating scent!
