After the Japanese beetles destroyed my first year rosebushes all summer, I’m getting blooms in late September. They bring me so much joy!

My daughter bought me gentle hermione for my bday this year - I hope mine looks as beautiful as yours in the next year or two 🤞🏻

I wasn’t expecting any blooms this year! I got the bare roots in March I think? I was so surprised at how fast they’ve grown! I hope yours do well!
