My husband and I drove to the Antique Rose Emporium in Brenham, Texas last Saturday, which is a rose nursery well known by rose lover’s all over America, specializing in selling antique and historic roses. It was kind of a crazy idea to do that on a day where it is 101 F/38 C hot, but I was really going stir crazy and just needed to see something else other than our own house and garden. It was our first trip since the lockdown (the nursery is two hours away from us one way) and despite the scorching heat we enjoyed our trip so much. It was a wonderful drive through the Texas countryside and the display gardens of the nursery were fabulous. There were not too many roses in bloom though, which doesn’t come as a surprise considering the recent high temperatures but nonetheless we enjoyed touring the eight acres of display gardens. They have some beautiful old restored buildings on the grounds, one is the rustic cottage that you see on my photo. The whole property has a really beautiful Texas country vibe and is lovingly maintained. The rose nursery was well stocked, the roses that they sell were in good condition (five came home with me!), and the staff was friendly. I can thoroughly recommend a visit of this nursery if you live close by. I am curious, what did you do last weekend to keep yourself entertained? Whatever you did, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Now it is Monday already again and I am wishing all of you a good start into the workweek! . . . #cottage #cottages #rusticcottage #texas #brenham #brenhamtx #brenhamtexas #countryside #texascountryside #antiqueroseemporium #antiqueroses #organicgardendreams @antiqueroseemporium (at Antique Rose Emporium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CClVRKDArPf/?igshid=1y04o44wpvtg
