• Angel Face

    A vase in my studio is filled with roses from my garden.  Beautiful mauve blooms that delight the senses with a sweet fragrance.   If you want a wonderful rose for your garden, this one lives up to its name...Angel Face.    Angel Face always blooms first every season, with continuous blooms throughout the summer. It’s on sale now at Jackson & Perkins so you might want to order more than one.  Sweet summer begins with Angel Face.  Just wait until you smell these roses! Anne

Here’s a photo of one side of the Designer Studio.   Barb and Mary have a great blog post showing all the Moda designers at market.  Thank goodness Barb and Mary thought to take the photos of everyone. Moda’s Designer Studio ended up winning a ribbon for Best Merchandising! And when I came home guess who came along…
