Hurricane Rose

When the news reports all say that a hurricane is moving towards your town you hurry and make preparations. That's what I did last weekend. Then suddenly I remembered the vegetables and the rose garden.

It was a hopeless feeling because what can a person do to protect their plants from hurricane force winds? Not much.

We did have high winds that scary night, but not as bad as they predicted. The next morning I was apprehensive to look at the gardens, especially the roses. Most of the rose plants were new, mothers day presents this year.

Imagine how surprised I was to find this rosebud! I call it my hurricane rose.
