Flower of the Month – Garden Rose
My mom hates roses. She hates all cut flowers, but especially roses. It kills me to think that she hates flowers (when I love them) but I can see where she’s coming from. They’re classic, yes, but can be at times unimaginative. We all know that I love peonies and ranunculus for their many-folded petals look, but they can also be expensive. I was overjoyed when I discovered garden roses. They look a bit like a peony in their shape, and they’re a lot more scented than traditional roses. They also come in a wide variety of interesting colors – I always like the dusky-colored sandy ones, that look tres shabby chic.
