(Probably because very young kids are weird!) I never had a rose, but that same grandmother had a stunning blood-red climbing rose against the side of her house.

If I remember correctly, my Grandma gave me at least one during the years! But unlike you, I never managed to make my flowers thrive. I guess most of the time my Mum took them from my room sooner or later, added them to the other flowers on the windowsill in the living room and took care of them.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-4640362061713350442017-04-13T00:05:40.533-04:002017-04-13T00:05:40.533-04:00Grandmothers are soft, rounded, and comfortable; j...Grandmothers are soft, rounded, and comfortable; just like your violetsCro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-92165710309120198452017-04-12T19:28:58.998-04:002017-04-12T19:28:58.998-04:00What a cute story!

They do seems like old lady flowers to me, and thus would suit me (ha ha). Talking to flowers is always a good thing.
