As best we can tell from the various Q&A sessions we've had with my Mom and her siblings, the rose bush in the pic above and below was planted at least 50 years ago. The hostas in the background - still flourishing - are even older...perhaps 80+ years.
More than likely within the next 30 days, this property will be sold...outside the family.
The rose bush, a few pots of the hostas, perhaps a few lily of the valley plants, and a lifetime of good memories will leave that 40' x 100' lot and live on elsewhere.
We will send a few pics before we lock the door one last time and give the keys to someone else.
P.S.: Here's a pic of my Mom taken in 1953, when she was 21. You can see the hostas to the left and the 80+ year old privet hedges to the right.
