To my surpirse

I found not one,

not six,

not a dozen

but

25 long stem roses!

I have never seen any like these

for they were white with a red trim.

What a beautiful surprise to have waiting for me.

Aren't I loved !!!

Unknown said...: Thank you, Karla.

I have taken the blooms off and drying them.

I have taken the stems and cut them in two, split the ends with a knife and have them in soil.

I just read online where you can put the stems with one leaf branch into soil and water in a gal. baggie, zip it up and keep it in a bright location.

NO direct sun and they should root.

We will see!; 10:40 PM, April 09, 2005
Unknown said...: I have not touched the baggies on the deck with the rose clippings in them. I see the leaves are still green as is the stalks. I hope they root. Perhaps I will move them out from under the picknic table that Karla gave to me and check on them this weekend.

I am excited! I want a couple to be rooted and then after a week or so, I can perhaps transfer them to pots.
