Mr. Lincoln Rose Thrives In Albuquerque
Thanks to wife Debbie Greenthumb and Miracle Grow our backyard is filled with summer color. This Mr. Lincoln rose has been blooming since April. Visitors bypass the house and head straight out to the back yard and garden. As Xeriscape is more the normal in Albuquerque most people find our backyard more of a haven and refuge as do we.

Good Morning John, Debbie does have a great greenthumb to produce such a great flower. Good Job Debbie.
You should show us more pictures of your backyard, John. This rose is beautiful. I garden, and grow lots of veggies every year, but I don't have a knack for roses. Great job, Debbie.
Wow, what a colourful rose John, Debbie sure knows how to brighten up a back yard. That's a real talent, one I wish I had.
Hi John,
What a beautiful rose and I agree, the color is lovely and so vibrant. Mr. Lincoln himself would have been proud of this rose.
Good job Debbie. I can just smell that Mr. Lincoln from here. That is a beauty. Nothing like fresh roses grown right in your own backyard.
Wow, what a stunning rose! Thanks for sharing Debbie's handiwork, John. This Mr. Lincoln Rose would brighten up anyone's day.
John what a perfect rose! I agree with Debbie. You should share additional photos of your backyard haven!
Hi John -- congrats to Debbie, her green thumb and Miracle-Gro for the creating the great color in your yard.
Gorgeous and I love that this is named after a MR-great thumb Debbie!
John,
Nice picture of the rose. I was hoping yo would give us at least one picture of the entire yard. Food for thought on additional blog. Xeriscape landscaping I would think should almost be a necessity in Albuquerque.
John, could I use Debbie's thumb :) Seriously, what a beautiful rose only wish mine would do as well. We did put up deer netting and we hope our rose bushes will start to grow.
Looks like Debbie has your garden covered with amazing plantings John!
Hi John, Great job by Debbie and good work by you to capture one of my favorites "Mr. Lincoln".
John, Debbie does have a greenthumb....my husband is the gardener...and I'll stick to the kitchen!
Hi John.
Well, you do have a gardener who know everything about flowers.
Nice photo.
John - You are so lucky to have Debbie Greenthumb at your home. A beautiful yard is a lot of work, and skill. Enjoy your summer day in Albuquerque!
Mr Lincoln roses have to be one of the sweetest smelling flowers on the planet. Around here in Virginia, many people plant knockout roses because they produce a ton of blooms. However, they just don't hold a candle to this classic!
John,
That's the secret Miracle Grow, beautiful, thanks for the inside gardener's tip.
Hi John, a beautiful rose it is. Roses are one of my favorite flowers. And this one
certainly is outstanding. Have a great day.
John, I'm not familiar with Mr. Linclon Rose, but it is beautiful. Is the a large rose...fragrant?
John, Debbie grows beautiful flowers! Roses are my favorite flowers to begin with. Have a great day!
John: I need to rent Debbie's greenthumb! I am so envious of those who can create beautiful landscapes with flowers.
Thanks for sharing your photograph. A beautiful rose!
I hope you are having an outstanding week.
Hey John, that sure is a gorgeous rose. You should display some more of Debbies great work in your garden! Happy first of summer to you both. I am still at work on the house doing the detail projects, still got some big projects like the window replacements forthcoming. I mostly enjoy the landscaping part myself, you know boys playin in the dirt. Have a Thortastic Thorsday-LOL-just saw the movie:)
Lovely rose, wish we we smell-vision here. John, please take us on a tour of your garden. You have a fan base here waiting for more:)
Deb definitely has a green thumb - beautiful rose! Hope it is a little cooler there today!
