"Our" rosebud, has bloomed, was beautiful, but now is beginning to wither. It is in the lower left. Around it are new blooms, that were mere rosebuds in our last pictures. We have watched the full life cycle from twig stuck in the ground, to bush, to rosebud, to bloom.
And here's a look into the future. Our bloom will become a carpet of rose petals on the ground.

the petals are even pretty on the ground. sometimes I take some pedals and put them in a little dish for inside fragrance. if its a nice fragrant rose bush. I wonder how long it will take for it to get new buds again.

It reminds me of an old song ....
I never promised you a rose garden!
My SIL used to take the old rose petals and heat beeswax and boil them together. Strain the petals out and it makes a great cream for chapped hands and lips and smells delicious. I remember the scent also from my childhood using rosebud salve on cuts. Helen
