Early this spring, a customer of mine gave me a bareroot rosebush. I accepted this gift graciously, but thought to myself...I don't really want this, where will I plant it? Hmmm

It was still kind of chilly, and I wanted to wait for the air and ground temps to warm up. So this poor thing sat in this bucket for quite a while. I would move it out if it was sunny, then put it back in the garage to await the warm day when I could get it planted.
Then finally the day came when I had the time and energy (at the same time!) and in the ground it went. Now, sun is scarce in my yard, so I had to do a relocation project just to make room for this girl. I was still having doubts about the whole rose thing. I mean, I like Roses, but I have a love/hate thing about them. This is because I spend so much time taking care of other people's roses! I cut them back, I deadhead them, fertilze them, I dig a fair number of the pesty thorns from my poor fingers!! (despite wearing special thick leather gloves)

So, the weather warmed up, as it always does here in Nebraska. The Rose decided it likes it's new home and rapidly began to grow. This is "Teasing Georgia" and I am going to eventually train it to climb on a trellis attached to the fence.

It has a very pretty, buttery yellow blooms. There are three blooms as of today, and lots more buds.So, I guess it was a fine gift, and I'll probably fuss over her like I do with all my other plant kids.

A beautiful Rose it is!
I know exactly how you feel spending so much time taking care of other people's roses...yet somehow 6 Rose bushes have snuck into my garden too! Every time they bloom I know I made the right choice ;)

"Georgia" sat patiently in that bucket for almost 2 weeks after it was given to me. Finally planted it on May 18th.
