I got this rosebush on the strength of how just horrible its flowers were and friends, every time it blooms i’m reminded of what a great idea that was. What AWFUL flowers. Its just fantastic and i love my ugly baby. 🌱

I once went to the closeout sale of a beloved nursery. I bought "climbing Don Juan". It was climbing, but definitely not Don Juan. Nice, though. I hope the people who bought it didn't kill it as inconvenient.
One year i carefully labeled all my seed flats only to realize several months later that sharpie fades in the sun. It was possibly the most “the universe hates me and is actively working against me” moment of my life 😹😹😹😹😹
Nope. We thought of woodburning plant names on popsicle sticks or wood scraps (David has a woodburning tool) but thus far we’ve proven utterly incapable of actually remembering and putting this plan into action in time to actually have them ready to use when we’ve planted the seeds.
I like roses! I have a couple blue ribbons from rose shows! Normal roses are fine! They’re also so… pedestrian, let’s get some weird shit going up in this piece.
Actually, now that i’ve looked up the Green Rose, i’m pretty sure that’s what it is, and i was just coming back to say i was wrong about the petals! So its even weirder than i thought because it has 5 normal sepals, and then the hundred effed up ones 😹 what a bizarre plant!

It’s a delightfully punk rose! Just all kinds of “fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me”.
