This rose has doubled in size since I brought it home, and its about ready to flush. I counted 4 blooms and 15 buds tonight. I feel pretty good about liberating this one from it's container.

Easy little rose tricks for anyone who may not know: bury a banana peel at the base once or twice per year & plant garlic in between bushes. I never harvest that garlic. I just thin it when it gets bigger than I'd like it to be. 😊
