Firefighters Training on Dewars Rd

Roseneath B&B guests were startled when Montague and Georgetown Volunteer Firefighters responded July 23rd to the call from a school bus and truck mock accident. Enactors played the roles of drivers and passengers and of the "dead" man in the woods. Coordination of efforts, first aid and application of the jaws of life were practiced and will be critiqued later. The only real injuries were a few mosquito bites!

Enjoy a brief tour of Roseneath B&B's gardens as they appeared in the afternoon sun of June 23 and and after rain the morning of June 24. You'll have to imagine the fragrance of the lilacs, lupins and hawthorns but Marilyn Munroe will lead you around the yard!

The Centerfold is Blooming !


I "fell in love" with the centerfold of Vesey's catalogue last summer and planted all 16 varieties of iris shown there in our garden in October. We did not expect them to bloom this first year so these tall beauties are a lovely surprise.  Better yet, these are just the first few and they are SUPPOSED to bloom again in late August! Click here to view the first ten spectacular blooms!
