While my front yard does go out of control in the rambling columbine vine department, and there are a number of other mysterious things growing there that I swear I never planted, the pot with the bright pink red roses hasn't failed once this summer. From the day I planted this rose bush two months ago to now in the sticky mid-August heat, this little bush just keeps on budding and flowering and blessing me and every passerby with its small and lovely flowers. I forget the name of the rose plant but if they have them on sale at Home Depot or Lowe's later this month, and if they are in white or yellow, I think I'll go get a couple more. This is the kind of gardening I like! Just plant 'em and water 'em when I remember, shake a little plant food occasionally, and off they grow, sharing their little flower faces with us! What joy!
all my roses die from bugs and spots and things!
ReplyDeleteOccasionally I buy something from Walmart or Home Depot or Lowe's which you can add water to and then pour into the ground around the plant and "eh voila!" the plant recovers and you get shiny glossy green leaves instead. It's worth the cost!
