Burst of freshness - Roses Revival


Sprout of new growth - Choon's roses, while we were away. Transplanted 2 months ago - pic.3 scraggly and cramped in a white pot before the transplant.



Perhaps a bigger terracota pot, sufficient fertilizing, waterings during early mornings and late evenings, and trimmings; to nourish it to better health.


A month had passed, yet it stayed the same, scraggly, with 1 or 2 discoloured blooms at a time. Wondered if we over-fertilized?


I was about to give up hope, 'lo and behold', a delightful sight of succulent fresh green and sturdy stems branching out its marroonish leaves (larger than its existing leaves). A burst of freshness.


Mum's miniature roses blooms wild; 11 blooms and spotted 2 buds.
