As you probably know by now, Sadie loves flowers. She said her favorite flower was the rose. Unfortunately, I did not have any roses. Until now.
Once again, Lowe’s clearance table came though. I looked it up before I bought it. Google said it was a rose for people that think they can’t grow roses.
It is also highly scented and said would be a good container plant. So, we’ll see. I told Sadie that I had a rose bush that was blooming. She asked if she could pick it the next time she was here. I have started picking up Sadie and Allie at school on Mondays and entertaining Allie for the hour that Sadie is at dance class. This was our second week. Virginia said that Sadie asked that morning if it was dance class day. Allie asked if it was Mimi time day. This week I look her to a near by playground.
It was a park with a walking track. I brought her tricycle and she made 3 laps. Then she got on stage and gave me a special performance.
I also decided to ride Hugo for two days in a row. Hugo however, did not want to be ridden. He would not run into the barn. After 30 minutes running him around outside, Joe was passing by and stopped to help. Once I had him caught, I lunged him more on the hill side to wear him out even more. Then I took him into the barn and let him rest. After he caught his breath I rode very lightly in the barn, then just walked down the driveway. He stood at the cattle guard much better that the day before. Then I rewarded him with a nice cool bath. Tomorrow I will see if things go any better in the catching department.

I hope the rose does well. It looks good - nice bonus that is supposed to be highly scented. Funny that Sadie immediately wants to pick the flowers.
Yea for Mimi time day :)
Allie is adorable.
I find roses are easy to grow. Buy the ones that are developed in Canada (Morden roses, Parkland series roses, Artist series roses) they are tough and can withstand lots of cold weather. The hybrid roses require too much maintenance for me, like having to mulch them over the winter. My favorite is the Emily Carr rose (artist series) as it is very hardy and has several roses on one stem, it makes a great cut flower.
I'm sure Sadie will enjoy any rose!
