A rose in a vase

Dear readers,

today some autumn inspiration

When I was looking for garden inspiration on pinterest I saw how vases or glass jars can be used as beautiful planters. Today I tried it myself. I bought this mini christmas rose and planted it in a glass vase, on top of the soil I put some moss. In terms of drainage I think it might not be the optimal planter, but I really like how it looks and hope I will be able to maintain it for some time at least.

                                                                      Best wishes,
                                                                            Lisa

Rose cuttings

Dear readers,
it has been quite a long time since my last blog entry and today I´d like to show you how my rose cuttings have developed since then. Although many cuttings rotted and thus died before developing any roots, I now have quite a number of cuttings that developed roots and grew into small plants. They are about three months old now and I am very proud of them.

Since I repotted them into bigger containers with rose soil, they have been growing vigorously.

                                      Has anyone else tried taking rose cuttings this year?

                                                                      Best wishes,

                                                                            Lisa
