Peppermint Kisses
This is a new miniature rose for me, Peppermint Kisses that I purchased from For Love of Roses. The first bloom stayed in a tight little ball for the longest time and then fell open. I wonder if time or the weather will improve this. The plant grew vigorously and made a ton of buds in a spray. Even if I'm not crazy about the form, it will make an impact in the garden. The color is a candy stripe reddish pink, but my camera makes it a darker, hot pink. This is the first flush. I look forward to seeing what it can do in the future.

Comments (111)What a great month it has been...Thanks Melinda for hosting this month. Maryanne-If you check in just a reminder that you are the host for December. I will try and remember to send you a message on facebook. Another day to spend with family tomorrow. DH's family has a get together the Saturday after Thanksgiving so it's tomorrow. His family is so huge we rent a school house so the kids can have the gym to play in. Of course us adults have to play to so we always have a volleyball game after lunch. Mellen-I actually went to Wal-Mart last night and stood in line for a fabulous sheet sale. If it's one thing I like it's good sheets and these were 700 thread count for $24.96. DH and I were the second ones in line so we got 7 sets. Some I got for family members, there was no limit. Shirley...See MoreHow Many Have Candy in The House?
Comments (22)All you chocolate lovers, just imagine if all of a sudden you couldn't eat chocolate anymore because it will give you abdominal pains that may last for days or you may even throw up! That's me, and it still kills, even after several years of abstaining, to see or smell anything chocolate. Just reading here about your house candy made my mouth water....See MoreMy mini from Walmart :)
Comments (15)It seems like the certain colors of flowers I like are sensitive too. :\ I like the lavender roses also but figured they may not do well where I live. It gets into the 100's many times during the summer. I also like the Cherie hibiscuses and apparently those can be finicky too. I just like colors other than plan red and pink. Your mini was beautiful. I'm sorry it didn't make it. You're right though mini roses are a bargain. The last one I bought was a left over from valentines and it was $0.02! :) So I hope it makes it. I'm not sure what types they all are but I have red and pink ones. If the others start blooming I'll post pictures also. I bet your garden is beautiful with all of those roses. :) I would like to get a Gigi. They're so pretty!...See More- 8 years agolast modified: 8 years ago
I made a small bouquet, which shows a more accurate color. There are so many buds on the plant, I didn't worry about sacrificing the flowers. The greenery in the bouquet is yarrow. The blooms are the size of a nickle. They are frilly and messy, but the form is growing on me.
