Through a psych-out February, drought like September, stormy wet cool July and two weeks of flirting with freeze temps, these knock out roses have bloomed three times this year. And still today with buds yet to open. It's like a metaphor for all the ups and downs @sciencestache has had through the years homesteading this piece of earth. ❤️ never once have I pruned these to enjoy the blooms. Tonight I stopped to smell those f*%#ers! 🕊❤️ and 🌹
