A Personal Note from Janine

Spring Floral Arrangements (2)

So after Thanksgiving, we began a five-month backyard project. We overhauled our flooring, drainage, and pool. This project started as a tile replacement, and it ballooned into a much bigger task.

If you have ever tackled a remodel, you know what I’m talking about.

Well, we started off moving a few of our plants. And once the bucket loader began excavating, my husband and I soon realized that some of our rose bushes’ lives were in jeopardy. So over a weekend, we moved two more of my precious roses.

So, in our haste, we didn’t take stock of which rose was moved to which location.

Long story short, I had a difficult time watering it after we transplanted the two roses. A month later, they both were in shock. All the early buds had shriveled up to brown stumps.

I was mortified.

So, I began watering and fertilizing them like a crazy lady. And today, they have new green shoots! Whew.

I still don’t know which rose is which, but it looks like they both are alive. I was super worried because I, unfortunately, don’t remember the bush’s name, so it can’t be replaced.

The above photo shows the orange blossoms that I love. I’m happy that I’ll still have these beautiful roses that bloom all summer long.

My Latest Obsession – Rock Roses

Spring Floral Arrangements (21)
Spring Floral Arrangements (22)
Spring Floral Arrangements (23)

Rock Roses

My husband and I are landscaping our newly remodeled backyard. And over the years, we love the plants that thrive once we plant them.

Rock roses do well in Northern California.

They are evergreen, meaning that they keep their leaves on all year round. But, if you live in a colder climate, make sure to check if they’ll do ok in your area.

Also, they are drought resistant, which is a good thing in California. So we bought about ten plants last week and are planting them this weekend.

They come in two colors, and we bought the white ones. Our whole backyard will be a primarily white and lavender color theme.

If we can grow rock roses, then anyone can grow them!

Happy Saturday,

Let’s get inspired together with this collection of spring floral arrangements! This is the best time to start buying, planting, picking and arranging your favorite blooms.

I hope you found an idea to create either a centerpiece, tiny bouquet, or an arrangement for your home.

Stay tuned for more spring ideas on the blog!
