Re-Re-Re-Roses

Time for a break from regular vegetable posts.  About a month ago, the last rose on my rose bush dropped to the ground and the tips of the plant turned purplish read.  "Oh no!" I exclaimed.  "What is wrong with my one and only rosebush? Is it a blight? Is the soil too acidic? Is it too much nitrogen, is it not enough nitrogen?

Well, if plants could talk, mine would have said..

"I'm fine! Relax! I was just saving up some energy for the next round of roses!"

Stay sweet,

Christine
