Roses Collage Greeting Cards

 

Loose Park in Kansas City is famous for its roses.

My mother and I recently strolled Loose Park in Kansas City when these roses were in full bloom.  I’m glad the gardeners in Loose Park do all of the work — the pruning, spraying, watering, cleaning.   All we have to do is enjoy their results.  I can enjoy roses all year long in my photographs.  I designed rose collage cards for many occasions or even no occasion at all! 

Each year, a couple of hundred reservations are made for weddings in the Rose Garden at Loose Park, which makes this a perfect card to send to a couple enjoying an outdoor wedding: Rose Collage Congratulations.  It’s blank inside so you can add your own verse on-line when you order it, at no charge.

Here’s one to send to grandparents, even if they didn’t get married outdoors years ago:  Rose Collage Happy Anniversary Card.  At the bottom of the Greeting Card Universe page is a link that will take you to more rose collage cards from my card store, It’s a Beautiful World! 

 In 1931, several Kansas Citians under the leadership of Laura Conyers Smith established the Kansas City Rose Society and its public garden in Loose Park.  The first garden contained 120 rose plants; there are now about 4,000 roses of nearly 150 varieties in the garden of 1.5 acres.  In 1965, the garden was named the Laura Conyers Smith Municipal Rose Garden.

Each year at the height of rose season, the Kansas City Rose Society sponsors the Laura Conyers Smith Rose Day.  This year it was June 7, when the garden was re-dedicated after extensive renovations, including the planting of 1,200 new roses. The circular plan was the original concept of landscape architect S. Herbert Hare.  It contains pergolas, fountains and gravel walkways.
