Another day of driving has passed. This morning I took a friend of my wife’s on a driving lesson to prepare for getting her driver’s license. I drove to the Lake Front to Stand for Peace and this afternoon I drove a friend to Oak Creek to visit his aging mother in a home. During my driving journeys I kept seeing roses in full bloom. I was especially impressed by what one of my neighbors call the ‘knockout’ rose.
I have been thinking of adding a rose bush to our perennial rain garden in the front of the house but have not got around to it yet. My experience with rose bushes in the gardens has not been so great.
I finally got a little time late this afternoon before more rain to work in the garden. To my pleasant surprise there was a lone knockout red rose on a bush I had planted a few years ago. Here I have been looking all over town at beautiful rose bushes only to discover that I had one in my own backyard. It might be just one for now but it is beautiful and to be appreciated.
Due to the rain and my driving to another event I was unable to get a picture of my lone rose. However, due to the Internet I can call up a picture like the one that appears in real life in my garden.
We are all looking for beauty like the red knockout rose provides. This season roses are everywhere and you just might find a lone red knockout rose right in your yard.
