This photo captures several roses in the various stages of their life cycle...

there's a rosebud at the far left of the photo...so new...so perfect,

at the far right is a rose bloom as it's petals begin to open in their full glory...

to the upper right is a rose in it's later stage of bloom with magnificently mature petals...

in the center is what's left after all the petals fall, leaving behind a striking vision of Mother Nature's wisdom, beause if I'm fortunate it will continue to develop into a rose hip!
You can go here to read all about rose hips and their many uses!
Do you take these and re-plant them someplace else in your garden ? I am not sure how that is done.
ReplyDeleteBut knowing you...you have figured it out.
Let me know exactly what we should do as I am getting more and more of these now ...at "the end" stage.
Love ya, Rose
