The garden on Woodrow Circle
This little corner of Little Elm, Texas sits where Woodrow Circle bends toward Lake Lewisville. From the front yard you can see the water glinting through the cottonwoods, and from the back yard you can hear it on a windy day.
Birgit started planting roses the year she and Yann moved in. One bush became three. Three became a dozen. Today there are more than fifty rose bushes — climbers along the porch, English roses tucked beside the brick walls, hybrid teas standing at attention down the path, and the bicolor rose that almost framed the lake on its very first bloom.
How to read this site
Each rose has a page of her own. Names on this site are the names Birgit calls them; many are gentle re-namings of cultivars she loves. Click any bloom to see her up close, leave a comment, or send a little ♥ if she made your day.
A note on the photos
All the images here were taken in the garden during one peak-bloom afternoon. New ones get added through the seasons — buds in February, flushes in May, the long lazy second wave in October.
