Day 21 finds me looking for the wild roses that grown in Missouri. Our native wild roses are pink but you can find a few white wild roses by old homesteads also. They have a distinctive smell but it is really faint. What they make up for in scent, however, they more than make up for in quantity. These I found in my favorite spot in Lake Jacomo along the roadside. With all the great spring weather we had this year they were blooming in abundance fueled by rain and gentle temps. You should really "stop and smell the roses" when you chance upon these wild beauties.
