Supermarket Roses
I'm preparing for a class at Quilted Threads, so there's not much sewing going on around here this week. I was at the local Fresh Market and saw roses for sale, 10 for 10 dollars. I don't usually buy flowers at the grocery store, but these looked really good, so I bought some. I was glad I had a large vase.
They've really held up well.
They are enormous. It's been lovely to have them in the house.

Fresh Market here also sells terrific flowers ... Used to buy a batch to share with co-workers to happy- up our desks ...
Such a beautiful color, too. Are you an avid gardener? Have you ever tried to propagate a rose bush out of a cut rose? I have an orange rose bush I started from a cut stem from Costco. Look on the stems for sprouts - those stems would be good candidates for the project. cut off the bottom inch or so. Poke the end into rooting compound and plant it into a bigger pot. Cut off the flower. (You can float that one in a sauce dish.) I kept mine outside in the shady spot on my patio in CA, but you probably need sunshiny spot in a window for a month or so yet.
Mine blooms and has for years now. Still in a pot because we are moving.
Hope this works for you.

And what does Millie think of them?

Yah gotta treat yourself now and then. Mum does too, but no roses lately.
