The Little Rose That Could!

Hello Glitterinas!

Thank you so much for stopping by 

Pink Glitter

today!

When we moved into the house where we live now

there were so many things we were excited about!

We were on acreage....

we had two barns....

the house had been built in 1930

and had tons of personality.....

we had trees, trees, trees.....

and the list went on!

Out the back door there was a small bed of 

shrubs that were nice and full.

Struggling along in that same bed was one,

little, lone rose bush.

Well, rose bush probably isn't the best 

way to describe it....

It was one cane of a rose plant.

It struggled to get to some sunlight....

.....it even bloomed with two tiny roses.

When husband decided to take it out,

I asked if he would plant it along the fence that runs by 

the driveway.

He did and told me not to be disappointed if it 

didn't make it.

Well, fast forward two years, Glitterinas,

and let me show you the little rose that could!

Isn't it beautiful?

This running rose reminds me of my 

grandmother's yard.  

She would let me 

pick lots of the blooms from her running roses 

and line them up all the 

way down the middle of her dining room table!

It was probably a big ol' mess for her to clean up the next day

but all she ever said was how pretty the table looked!

These old fashioned roses have 

such a wonderful fragrance.

This rose just keeps blooming and blooming....

.....look at the gorgeous color!

Isn't this one pretty, Glitterinas?

As the petals began to fade I gathered up some 

spent roses to dry.

I'll use them in pot pourri bags and other craft 

projects.

With each project, I'll remember how lovely 

this rose bush looked all covered with blooms!

This really did turn out to be 

the little rose that could!

I can hardly wait to see all the roses again next year!

What's blooming in your neck of the woods?

Leave me a note, I love reading 

all your comments!

Until next time,

Tammy
