Last Friday, Sunshine and I took a trip to
The Antique Rose Emporium. I must say this is one of my favorite places to go! It is beautiful and inspiring. We attended a class on rooting roses. Sunshine was quite through the most of the seminar- except for when she saw the puppy that someone had brought in and then she started barking :)! I guess barking is better than other sounds a young child could make. So back to the class, we all got to bring home three cuttings to try to root. The fun thing is, they didn't tell us what three roses were in our bag. I am hoping for at least one of them to work. Here is my little bag in my window sill. The picture is bad, but you get the idea.
After about 28 days, I should have rooted roses or dead stems. The hard part is being patient. I really want to open the bag and pull one of the cuttings up a little bit to see if any roots are forming. But, they warned us NOT to do this. So I'll just have to wait 3 more weeks.
The weather was great, so we enjoyed a picnic lunch in the gardens! Sunshine is a
vetern rose shopper. The rose emporium was her very first day trip (3 weeks old) and we have been back several times!
