Thank you so much for this information, Diana in Wisconsin! I’m going to follow instructions and pray I can get a rose bush out of the little cutting. Also thank you for the thoughts about the loss of my mom. It came only 8 weeks after losing my dad and was very unexpected even though she was 92. I have struggled with these losses more than I can say. Last year at this time they were both at home and doing really well. On July 3 last year, my dad fell and it was a fairly quick downhill slide. My mom fell 8 weeks after we said goodbye to my dad...a very bad fall..and was gone in 6 days. I pray your mom gives you many more years of enjoyment.
Thanks to you, too. My Mom is 88 this Fall and is the Energizer Bunny, for the most part. This past year she’s slowed down to an everyday RUN, versus her usual break-neck speed.
I talked to her today as she wants to come out to the farm and stay for a few days. She has just FOUR DAYS that are not filled in on her calendar yet!
She exhausts me. ;)
