 | A Rosy Welcome
At the Parishes' home, the roses begin at the front door and flow out along the driveway and along the walk in a most inviting display. They're miniature, miniflora, and micro-mini roses, says Bev..

 | Tom & Roses
Tom and the roses. Gardens aren't the only things in life the Parishes know how to nurture. This past July they observed their 51st wedding anniversary.
|
 | On the Side
A lovely way to make the best use of space to display roses at the side of the house, beauty and the advantages of raised-bed gardening..
|
 | Raised Beds
Beverly, a consulting rosarian for the Rose Society of the Ozarks, prefers to grow her hybrid tea roses in raised beds with compost and Perlite or sand added to keep the soil loose and well-draining.
|
 | Socializing
The Parishes' backyard, with its beautiful rose beds, makes a highly convivial setting.
|
 | Winterizing the Roses
A bit of genius? Come winter, with the wooden frames already in place, the Parishes protect the roses simply by adding covers.
|
 | Micro Mini Roses
Bev and Tom also grow micro-mini roses, the smallest of the mini roses with blooms a quarter of an inch to an inch wide and tiny foliage..
|
 | Rosecraft Award
Not surprisingly, many of Beverly's roses have brought her national recognition. This dried arrangement, for example, won the Rosecraft Award at the 2005 American Rose Society National Rose Show in Memphis--one of eight awards she won at the event. (Note: The rose is 'Gold Medal', a grandiflora rose known for its deep yellow petals edged in red, superb hardiness, and light, spicy fragrance in the garden.)
