【Gardening Challenge】Day 1 Rose "Yakumotatsu" (八雲立つ)

 I  saw a pot of roses in a flower shop.

 

It was one of the  Japanese types,

 

and the picture on the pot showed that when it blooms

it will have beautiful pale, purplish blue petals. 

 

The name of this rose is

"Yakumotatsu" (八雲立つ) ,

 

which comes from a phrase used in ancient Japanese poems.

 

It makes the impression of clouds colored by early morning sunshine, godly and mysterious. 

 

I fell in love with this rose, so now it is settled in my garden. 

 

Actually I am not so good at growing plants.

I forget watering them time to time.

 

All my flowers in the garden have gone through tough times.

 

That means all of my flowers that  survived have grown their roots very  strong. 

 

But this rose I just have to raise with special care.

 

I am determined to fill my garden with beautiful roses.

 

I went to the library the next day and picked a couple of books for gardening beginners. 

 

Now let's begin!

 

Thank you for reading.
