Thomas Jefferson's Monticello ~

 Went to Monticello a couple of days ago. 


It was nice to finally see Thomas Jeffersons Monticello.

The people that worked there were very kind, the grounds were spotless, just an over all nice place to spend time in.



 Beautiful flower gardens around the house and grounds.


 The University Jefferson watched being built.

 Loved the massive trees.

The Rose that lived~



 Most know the trouble I have had trying to grow 
Roses in this State.
Lost 99% of the normal Rose bushes, except this mini one. Was hit and miss for a very long time.
But I "Think" this one might live. 
Even has pretty little flowers that look like
 Water Lillies when open.

Will keep it in the house.
Took some cuttings yesterday to see if I can grow more.




One of my visits to Janie's house, she gave me some 
cuttings of this plant.
Months later its doing very well and trying to take over.  :O)
