I just wanted to send someone some roses.No real reason.
Other than they're by my fence and looked rather nice up against the background of the wood and the purple ruellia.
I've had rose bushes in my yard for each of the houses I've owned. I will let you in on a secret, I have no idea what to do with the things.
You see, they grow in an area and you have to create a "safe zone" around them. Then if you get too close, they get all nasty and bite you.
But what happens is they require care and some shaping.
I'm trying to train mine. The plant, and it is only one, ended up getting to about 8 feet tall. I started cutting the plant back and now it's about 6 feet tall, eye level.
Ok, Eye Level for me. For you, well, your mileage may vary.
Pretty things though.
So if you have a rose plant in the yard and can't figure out what to do with it, do what I do. Take a picture, then snip the roses off and put them in a little vase by the kitchen window. You'll have something to look at while you're working in there.
It's not all snakes and lizards here in South Florida. Sometimes you get flowers. After all, the place is named after them.
