I went to Home Depot to buy some little nothing and as I was walking to the register, I saw a sign out of the corner of my eye: 50% off roses. I sort of strolled by, there was Knockout, Knockout, Knockout. I thought I was safe when I saw another table. Again Knockout, Knockout, Knockout, then 4 Memorial Days in the middle of all the Knockouts. One had two blooms and I could smell it without leaning in. It grabbed my hand and I couldn't let go. Three gallon, healthy looking, $12!!! Blooms look a little bad but foliage is good and has several buds.

I rode home with the perfume in the car, was thinking there needs to be a candle, air freshener, anything - every thing that smells like that. my DH said it would be nice if we could put it in a bottle and carry it with us.

It's hard to resist those really good varieties you run across at the big box stores! Even though I'm full to overflowing, I brought home a second Over the Moon and a Bolero. Couldn't stop myself!

Hey, it grabbed you cuz it knew when it saw you that you were a good rose mommy! It knew it wanted to go home with you! Smells good doesn't it? I have two. One I bought as MEMORIAL DAY, and one that was supposed to be BEWITCHED. The latter grows shorter than the former, but you can't mistake that big huge ruffled bloom and that wonderful scent!

You rescued it from a most certain demise. Pat yourself on the back for providing such a wonderful service to "rosekind"
