Everything's Coming Up Roses!
This spring, I found an awesome deal on rose bushes at Costco. Actual Jackson & Perkins roses, the kind they generally only sell to nurseries - they come in a biodegradable box, which you just stick into the ground whole. So I got five of them. And the first one is blooming!
I fully intend to have some photos up here (provided I can get Jason outside to take some, and it's not so humid that I fall over before I post them). Look for an amendment to this posting soon.
In the meantime, the rose is called "Double Delight" and it's a cream colour with red/pink outer petals. And a couple of the other bushes also have buds. Very exciting. I'll keep you all posted, I know you're thrilled by my horticultural talents. Next thing you know I'll be "putting up" preserves and curing my own bacon. Yee haw.
