@a2j 17 September 2021 more from that month

I had posted many weeks ago that my table rose plants were getting gnawed and eaten by squirrels. It was disappointing to see them broken and in pieces. I had put in some spikes to prevent them from getting eaten. They worked partially. Finally, one of them grew a long branch and popped out 2 beautiful flowers this morning. I'm sure they're feeling victorious. It's been quite a struggle and the pot still has half eaten stems and leaves that are a constant reminder of the struggles it had to go through before blooming out these beautiful flowers.
