………………………….The two potted Rose trees were anniversary presents to Jac and me from her sister Marianne over 7 years ago. Every fall they come in the house and I put them on the sun porch that gets a good southern exposure…….Every winter they loose their leaves, and no matter how much I spray them they get these cobwebs all over them with tiny bugs…..WHERE do they come from???? I always think, okay this is it they are done for….In the early spring, before I bring them outside again, I spray them again, and give them a heavy dose of “rose food”, and hope for the best…..As soon as the weather is warm enough for me to bring them out….out they go…..It’s like a miracle…..the webs and the bugs disappear, and new shoots start to grow……This spring they are just bursting with new shoots and tons of roses!!!! I couldn’t be happier! As a matter of fact the photo in the middle at the bottom….is a new rose tree that started to grow from one of the originals trees last summer. One day, last summer, I saw this new  [what almost looked like a small twig with leaves] growing out of the dirt…..When it was big enough I dug it up and transplanted it. It looked pitiful in the house this winter , but I wasn’t giving up on it…..The minute I brought it outside all new shoots started to grow and it’s filling out nicely…..On top of that a new shoot sprung up out of the soil, and it too is growing in leaps and bounds……However, I’m not going to transplant this one. I will just let it grow and be happy with its’ Momma…….All of the trees must be very happy!!! They are all doing so well……They are wonderful reminders of our anniversary……………HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to JAC and ME!
