Joseph's Coat Rosebush
Tired of roses yet? My Joseph's coat rosebush bloomed today, and as I was taking pictures of it, it dawned on me. My last two blog posts were about my rosebushes...maybe I should write about something else, and leave these pictures until tomorrow...but, I just can't wait that long. Joseph's coat is a very intersting rosebush. It's a climbing bush, that produces clusters of buds. These buds open into yellowish orange roses, which change colors as

I am not sick of roses. In fact my bush is doin a good job of blooming. Check out my pix I am fixing to post.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you for coming to the funeral, too. God will bless you. It was a very nice service.
I wanted to come. I got up early enough to have my bed made, my cats fed, and myself ready by 10 til 10. I showed up at the funeral home with plenty of time to spare, only to be told they were having it at that church. I was so upset that I was going to be late, that I started not to come. I called Dave, in the midst of one of my anxiety spells. He calmed me down, then met me at the funeral home, so I could follow him over to the church. I was embarrased to be late, but I'm glad I went.
ReplyDeletesorry, I should have reminded you, but I thought you had read the obit.
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never, that was nice of Dave to lead you over. I started to ask if you wanted to go to the graveyard with us but decided if you were not planning to go it might make you think I thought you should. Didn't wanna spoil your day
I have never heard of tha kind of rose..interesting.
ReplyDeleteI had read about it through Davesgarden.com. I just figured it was a fancy variety that would never be available here. I was so happy to find one at Atwoods.
