   Hi to fellow rose lovers,
 I lived in Michigan, zone 5.  I had about 200 rose bushes, from OGR's to Hybrid Teas.  My favorite rose is also my first rose, an unknown apricot rose given to me by my mother-in-law.  This is the rose that got me started.
 
 Circumstances in my life have led me to a Florida apartment to be near my daughter and grandchildren.  I no longer have a garden.  I still miss Michigan and my rose garden but being with my grandkids has been priceless.
