the first year after we bought our house i planted 5 or 6 rose bushes in the front garden, to go with the three of four mismatched varieties that were already there. i've since discovered that although i do love the blooms, i'm not a rose bush person. too much pruning, garlic-spraying, aphid-squashing, black-spot-and-rust-watching, constant-care-needed for me at this point in my gardening life. and with a new front fence looming next month, i gave my husband the okay to take out all the rosebushes before he starts work. a few days later, the smallest wee bush, the scrawny one that has probably only had about two blooms in the past four years and has barely grown 15cm in all that time, burst out this one stunning, coral toned, blossom. a last little plea, i think, to be spared, dug up and put into a big pot so we can try to coax a few more out of it. alright then.
What an absolutely gorgeous bloom! Wow. Might I download that middle picture to use as my cell phone background? I'd love to see those colors everyday.
ReplyDeletethat is one absolutely stunning big headed rose! i know though; rosebushes: so ugly, but roses like that one: amazing! can you replant them somewhere out of the way & keep them purely to harvest the blooms?
ReplyDeletejessica, you can totally use the middle photo as your cell background - enjoy!
ReplyDeletekk, there are about three bushes that i think i'll keep, just pop them into really big pots until we get our landscaping plan sorted out (they'll probably live in pots for three years...)
Done, thank you so much! I hope you get many more such blooms in the future. ;)
