Johasine hanet
This is a rose from my lovely friend Christina. We have been waiting all year for it to bloom. Unfortunately its first bloom has a vegetative center. For those who do not know what that is it. this happens when the plant starts to grow another bloom inside of the one that is blooming. I am pretty confident I over fertilized and thus a green center. My friend Christina writes a lovely a blog called Organic Dreams. She gardens one hundred percent organic and even has worms for composting. I have a link in my side bar.
