Growing up I had a doll's house called Rose Cottage that had stickers of roses around the front door, and I'm pretty sure that's where my love of little cottages with rose gardens stemmed from.
I can remember being young and making 'magic potions' in my garden, I had no qualms about pulling petals off daisies or uprooting dandelions but I was always very dubious when it came to rose petals.
Fast forward a few years later to finding out rabbits could eat rose petals, and I was still quite hesitant. But the fact Clive loved them made the whole ordeal a bit easier.
So when I spotted a rather sad looking mini-rose for sale in the local grocery store I just couldn't help myself. After being re-potted and watered almost every day, it really started to thrive.
I've loved watching the flowers change colour throughout the Summer. They started as a bright yellow with pink around the edges of the petals, and then faded.
Right now I'm patiently waiting for four more buds to flower.
