2011 - Day 136

Just got to Bude and am glad to see that Jaykub's rose bush is in bud (a friend bought it for me when he died in July 2003)

Can you transplant it to your new home?

Yay - it's in a tub ... for that reason!

I'm not a keen gardener, but I couldn't leave that behimd!

Bonne chance!

That was my thought as well. You might want to ask your Mum if it's possible to take a cutting and root it or transplant the bush. It would be a shame to leave it behind when you move.

I'm not a keen gardener, but I couldn't leave that behimd! She has a rose in her garden that has travelled from her childhood home via 5 other locations ... and is still OK.

My first thought as well, although I think I see a pot in the picture. But it's very so nice to see a memorial rose come in bloom.

You live in a country famous for its gardeners, so you might be a decent gardener by non British standards. My next door neighbor in Durango was born in the U.K., but came to the U.S. as a child. She is definitely not a gardener. (She puts artificial flowers out in her yard.) Fortunately a previous owner of the house was an excellent gardener.

LOL - maybe that's my problem - my mum and both my grans had/have green fingers ... so makes me feel terrible!

Brilliant idea about the artificial flowers ... that's why I quite like tubs (you can hide them if things die!)

I'm just glad Jaykub's rose is still OK

It is great foresight on your part to keep Jaykub's rose bush in a tub.
