My Betty White rose bloomed bundles a day before it was supposed to rain, and my Oklahoma rose finally had its dark red flowers (instead of purple) so I had to make a bouquet to keep them from water damage. (I also gave clippings of the Betty White to a good 4 neighbors, and it still has buds on it...) Gotta love a rose bush! I'm hoping by putting the vase behind the dish rack the cat won't be tempted to knock it over. But we'll see!
