My NEW New Dawn Rose

Well, I lured you in, didn't I?

Do you see this rose?

Isn't it a BEAUTY?

It is a NEW DAWN rose!

Isn't it GORGEOUS?

Sadly, it is NOT my own~

But- I have GREAT HOPES- Yes! I! Do!

I came home to find THIS on my front porch.

Opening the box was a wonderful surprise.

There was a healthy WET bare root rose inside.

Healthy and gorgeous!

Yep- While Dave's New Dawn looks like this~

This is how MINE looks!

See it there, do you?

Did you know that New Dawn likes SHADE?

So, the roots are shaded with mulch right now.

I promise YOU that IT has promise.

Meanwhile, the Tansy is keeping it company.

 AND

I bought some poppies.

My mother always grew poppies..

I had planted 2 really healthy little 

POPPY PLANTS.

See them here?

Not so healthy now, huh?

You, too, can have poppies that look like these.

How?  I'll send MyHero over with his

handy-dandy little 

WEED KILLER SPRAYER

and no instructions.

And that's all I'm gonna say about that!
