| So I just started this year, and with ya'lls help, have some beautiful blooms to enjoy the past 3 months! So I figured I'd show off what I've captured so far! My Maria Stern: i fell in love with a customer's version of this beautiful rose(in my opinion) and grabbed one for myself as soon as I got off work!(Oh the joys of working at Lowes xD )
N-Joy: I grabbed her because she seemed no neglected and unwanted sitting beside my register all day. No picture of what she would be and all her blooms(and one bud) seemed sun bleached and wilted. Took her home, cut the blooms and let her keep her one bud left, and this was my reward! A month later she gave me two more, slowly showing off their prettiness :)
I realized today I always get pictures of my blue Girl, but I always forget to get pictures of her fully opened!! She is my first rose and boy does she show off! I brought her home with one baby bud, once settled in she gave me 5 more. And today I counted and she has 10!
Red Sensation was suppose to be a 'multi-graft' rose of Red Sensation and All American Beauty. I think AAB died off at the store. But RS took a liking to Blue girl because they like to bloom together haha!
I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do, even if alil blurry from my evil webcam. Thankfully, my digital camera is in the mail, yippee! |

| i can see why you snapped up Maria Stern, she's a beauty! I'd make no money if I worked at Lowes, I'd constantly be bringing home plants! |

| It sounds like you're on your way to rose addiction like the rest of us :) Looks like you're having fun already! Tammy |

| They're all lovely but that Maria is gorgeous! |
|
| Isn't it fun?! I love that you took a chance on N-joy. I once bought a bush that had lost its tag simply because it was so healthy-looking and loaded with buds. I was rewarded with vibrant yellow roses! Thanks for sharing your roses. |

| I never heard of N-JOY before. HMF says it's a florist rose. Yours looks smallish for a florist rose. Where did you find it? |

| Very lovely! I love hearing stories about how someone saved a rose bush. So you keep them in containers? Do you take them inside over the winter or do you cover them and leave them outside? |

| Thank you all for the compliments! I've bought all of them at the Lowes I work at. This is my first summer with all of them, so I'm not sure as of yet what i'll do this winter. Depending on how bad I might cover them as I don't have much sunlight indoors and a cat that enjoys a 'natural' litter box -.- N Joy is slightly bigger than the pictures show. Though Maria and Blue Girl give me the biggest blooms out of them all. |
