My beautiful rose

[claudine]

I want to show you something beautiful:

I received this rose from my boyfriend a few days ago. Isn't it lovely? In my opinion it's perfect, it's one of the prettiest roses I've ever seen I plan to root it and plant in my garden!

I took these pictures with my smartphone, this is why they're so blurry. In reality, the color of my rose is more intense.

Blimey, will you get another one tomorrow?

 

[claudine]

Haha, I have no idea, I hope so. The more roses, the better! My boyfriend likes to spoil me and I love being spoiled, so we're perfect for each other

Do you celebrate St. Valentine's Day in Poland?

 

[claudine]

Yes It's a very popular holiday here. Everywhere, you see heart-shaped things, teddy bears and men carrying flower bouquets and chocolates. It's kind of tacky, but I like it

Claudine, hope your Valentine's Day was as beautiful as your Rose.

You plane to root the stem you received, are you going to use 1/2 a potatoe to help start the rooting process?

 

[claudine]

Thank you! I hope that your Valentine's Day is wonderful too!
I go on a date in the evening and I already know that my boyfriend bought me more flowers
I didn't know that a potatoe helps start the rooting process. Thank you for the information, I'll definitely give it a try! Should I just put a raw potato in the water?

Your rose is truly gorgeous Claudine and think it would be a great idea to try and and get it to root - especially as its such a stunner even though store bought roses aren't known to be very good at rooting - I do know that sometimes it does work - particularly if the stem is placed in the garden - in fact if yours is a long stemmed rose - which I think it is - you may well be able to get two cuttings from the one stem - as the cutting only needs to be approx 6 inches long and of course now is a good time of year to get it to root

However - if it doesn't work and you do wish to grow the very same rose - I think you will find its called " Mr Lincoln "
Am sure that you will - but hope you have a very special and very happy day

 

[claudine]

Yes, it's a long stemmed rose I'll definitely try to get two cuttings from it.
Thank you so much Gata Montes for all the information and kind words! My Valentine's Day was very special, I hope yours was too

Mine was

Zigs, it's such a lovely card! I love Valentine's cards I received a bouquet of lovely tulips, it was a complete surprise, because, as you know, I was expecting another rose. I'll post pictures of it tomorrow

Wow, that is a perfect rose. I like that it has more petals and looks fancier than the average rose you see in a store. I hope you have luck getting it to take root.

Zigs - it's such a lovely idea, this breakfast looks delicious
ACSAPA - thank you! I really, really want to root it So far, I haven't had much luck with rooting stems, but maybe this one will be an exception

claudine - You are welcome and am really pleased to hear that you had a lovely day - and extra flowers too am also glad that it sounds as though you can get two cuttings from the one stem - I hope it works - especially as I shall now be looking forward to seeing pictures of the beautiful rose bushes that you've grown from your cuttings - forgot to say - but don't forget to remove every single leaf from the cuttings before putting them in the ground - as they stand a much better chance of rooting if you do that


zigs - thrilled to hear you had a good day too and think your gift of a virtual breakfast was a wonderful idea - especially as it looks - so tantalizingly good
