Gardening Tales
Inspirational Thursday-Rose Garden and A Daughter
May 15, 2013
Last week at this time I was writing a tribute to my Mother. The
incredible lady with a passion for gardening and a green
thumb to match. As you know, she loved her gorgeous rose
garden. I too, love to grow just about everything that
blooms, including roses.
When I got home from work yesterday, a package was waiting
for me, from Jackson & Perkins. My Mother's gold standard
for roses.
The package was from Amanda, Preston and Wyatt. They
sent me this potted Lady Bird Hybrid-Tea Rose, for Mother's
Day. This elegant Hybrid-Tea rose, was personally chosen by
Lady Bird Johnson (former first lady) for it's large petaled
flowers, vibrant color, wonderful scent and energetic color.
You know, I am so tickled with this loving and thoughtful gift.

Oh, I will love, nurture and care for this rose always. But what
means everything to me, is that Amanda took the time to care.
And isn't that what we all are looking for?
Time to listen,
Time to love,
Time to give of yourself.
So, my beautiful rose is planted in her special flower pot,
nestled delicately in a special planting mix. She will grow and
bloom.
I will always be reminded of the time, that my daughter took
just for me.

I love gifts that make me smile I each time I pass them. Enjoy your beautiful rosees.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift Jemma. Last year my hubby built me a fenced in area and my children all gave me a rose bush for Mother's Day. I was so excited for them to get even more blooms this year. Because of our harsh winter three are struggling. Not sure if they will make it. Jackson Perkins is the best! I had a white rose hedge from them at my previous home and I loved it. Happy that you had a lovely Mother's Day.
