Why not ask Walmart what they sold you? If they want to be a nursery and you want to buy from them, then you should find out before hand what you are buying and how to care for it. It should have some kind of tag on it or should have been labeled on the rack or stand you got it from.

QOD: Friday: A date with DH! We haven't had a date in 10 months, but finally found a lady who is fingerprinted and back-ground checked who can watch Baby V once a month. Besh, maybe we'll light a fire later...right. One DD has a slumber party and one DD has a dance, so we are going to dinner on the waterfront! Saturday: Book fair at 9. Pick up pre-ordered tree at 10. Community Santa party at 4 to get Baby's pic with Santa,-if he will tolerate it! (Baby, not Santa...) Maybe a visit with prospective adoptive parents. Sunday: Off the rock to choose light fixtures for the new place. Maybe another visit with adoptive parents. Then DH leaves to go to the city for 2 nights and I have big plans to organize THE WORLD--(insert evil laugh here.) Donna- Hugs for your mom. Wow! That sounds painful! I slammed my right-hand pointer finger in my glovebox last Friday and took off the top of it. It's been pretty enlightening, learning how much I use that pointer! It's getting better after getting worse! Patti-Enjoy the scrapbooking. Dave has the right idea, for sure. Have fun with water! Peg: Your aunt is trying to keep you busy so you don't get into trouble! Everything happens for a reason! She sounded like she loved life and has everything planned out for leaving it. I love pre-plans in the funeral biz. It makes decision making much easier. I saw so many families aginize over the deceased and their funerals. PLAN AHEAD! Besh: I never miss "The Year There Was No Santa Claus" Heat Miser and Cold Miser are the bomb! Milkdud: The Friends of the Library here does SO MUCH! They also have a book sale in teh spring at the elementary school that earns a ton of money. People donate books all year and the "Friends" organize them on the risers at the school and sell them for a dollar an inch. NHSuzanne: you and your "Where did the year go?" lol. It was you who, a few months ago, couldn't wait to get through 2008! I remember because I felt SO STRONGLY the same way! Now we have almost made it. Raeanne and Milkdud: I still take the ferry and drive to my old town for dentist--an 8 hour drive plus the time in the chair. I take my kids there too. I can't bear to part with my dentist. I have found a new hairdresser but it's a ferry ride away and a short drive. I sent my kids as guinea pigs for the first visit, but I will go myself this month! Raeanne- PROMOTE YOURSELF. Your work is amazing. But the "shy" you would be fascinating to witness, I'm sure....lol. Have a geat weekend, everyone!

Hi Michelle! First off, where do you live or what zone are you in. I see that google page is in Celsius, are you in Canada? If it is at all possible you need to get the rose outside and keep it outside. ROSES ARE NOT HOUSE PLANTS!!! I know they sell these gift roses for inside but they are also meant to be disposable once they stop blooming. That way they can sell you more, lol! That's also why they stick in three or four cuttings to make the pot look fuller and have more blooms to attract buyers. But they do not have to be disposable if they are put outside where roses belong. It would actually do best planted in the ground. I would not recommend trying to separate them Some people have been successful at it but it's a very iffy proposition and you could lose them all. I would just re-pot them up into a little larger pot as a unit. Make sure your pot has good drainage holes and DO NOT put a tray under it. The water needs to be able to drain freely out the bottom. Always use a good light weight potting soil too. No top soil or garden soil, it's too heavy and won't drain well. It looks like you are going to have some rain this week so that should be plenty of water. Roses like about an inch of water per week. That's not a lot in a small pot so don't over water it. Only water it if when you stick your finger into the soil up to the second knuckle and it comes out dry. You don't say what kind of critters you're worried about but usually the worst pests are rabbits and deer. For rabbits just find a place off the ground, maybe a table top? Deer, well, they are a problem! It looks fairly healthy so I don't think you need to worry about it dying. Just give it good sunshine, water and a little fertilizer (half strength to start) and it should be fine.
