Good evening and rose growing question
| Mon, 05-12-2003 - 8:42pm |
It was good to read all the pleasant ways that the ladybugs celebrated MD. I think I would have cared least for BB's way. Maybe she is like our governor and is trying out for a part in Nascar. That poor fellow wrecked, and I know he must have been embarassed. He was practicing to drive the pace car to start the race (or whatever they call that car).
DS2 gave me the cutest enameled gold charm, a ladybug about the size of 2 actual ladybugs. I wore it as a pendant today, but I want to find a bracelet so that I can wear it as a single charm. I had seen the ladybug bracelets but not the single charms.
Our system is celebrating for every school did well on the EOG tests. There is double joy for the improved scores mean bonus checks for the teachers and other staff.
Are there any ladybugs who specialize in growing roses? I also received a rose bush, a pure white tea rose for MD. I have another that has survived despite my poor care for several years. Any hints will be appreciated on how to care for them.

I hadn't heard that about your governor. Politicians! Gracious.....hope he was just embarrassed and not injured when he wrecked.
Congrats on the test scores -- bonus goooooood!!!..LOL
Sorry, I can't help you with the roses. My Mom's are beautiful, but I have never had a rose bush. Maybe you could go to Google and see what you can find. Good luck -- bet it's a beautiful bloom -- love the white ones...BB
Poof!!! I'm gone!!

Don't know what our dear govenor was thinking...going through his second childhood ya think?
About roses...we have one bush in our yard that my late DH bought when we moved into this house. One of his buddies at work grew roses and so he thought we should have some too. One is all we ever got. Well he planted it out at the end of the driveway...good sun location...I guess. It has been blooming like mad the past few years but not because I do anything for it. He must be tending it from above as all I do is make sure there is pinestraw around the base for winter and clip off the blooms as they wilt. Sometimes I will bring afew in to enjoy in the house. I haven't fed or even watered it. It is just surviving. Oh and I make sure the wysteria bush that he planted rather near it does not choke it.

BTW, I see that Wren's suggestion of using the banana skins is mentioned in a lot of the 'rose' sites!!

You are loved ~~ far more than you may ever know!
Years and years ago I planted a red tea and a pink florabunda or what ever you call them. I read books and planted them in the right location, fertilized, dusted, mulched and watered.....they died.
About 15 years later we were in the local little departmemt store and it was at the end of the season. They had roses for like a dollar a bush. I bought about 6 different colors. Came home and planted them. The only thing I did to them was to cut them down to the ground every year and I had the most beautiful roses.....then one year we had a bitter, bitter winter and they didn't make it.
I don't know if I put up any pictures of the roses or not if not I could. But that is my rose story....
