Last week, I ordered a new rose bush, and it arrived today. This particular rose bush produces plenty of rose hips, so I'm thrilled to receive it.
In Spring, it blooms charming pink flowers, and the growing speed is very fast. It can easily reach a height of 3 to 5 meters. Since it's a climbing rose, I'm planning to let it climb up on the wall of our house. I imagine it'll look stunning when it bursts into bloom with thousands of flowers all at once.
Roses will soon enter their dormancy period, so I'll be busy trimming them. After pruning , I’ll plant some cuttings, which will make lovely gifts to my friends who also love roses.
I planted this rose bush in a sunny spot. I'm truly hoping it'll produce lots of rose hips next year.
Here's an image of the rose.

In Spain there is a Chinese proverb that says that if you want to be happy all your life, you have to have a vegetable garden. Is it true, Yumi @yumiyumayume ?
I've never heard the saying, but it makes sense to me. Don't you think gardening, especially harvesting vegetables from your garden makes you feel happy?
I fully agree with you, Yumi @yumiyumayume
Glad to hear this!
