The 26th Birthday Sweetheart Rose


This is a rose bush with history. My generous mother sent me a bouquet of 42 sweetheart roses for my 26th birthday. As they were wilting away, I noticed several neon green baby leaves shooting out of leaf nodes. "Life!" I thought. Out of the 10 I tried to root, one successfully (somehow) did! It is currently bushier than I've ever seen it, and still going strong. In this picture it has three roses past their prime, but still gorgeous (if I do say so myself).
