#rose bushes
I think that when you are thinking about planting roses, an important consoderation to keep in mind is that someday, you will die
Perhaps you love the meditative nature of caring for rose bushes but one day you will die, and no one will be able to manage the weirdly intense Gardening Regime that you set for everything you planted and your roses will become overgrown and dangerous and someone, perhaps, even, your beloved grandchild, will be obligated to take a pruning shear the size of their own fucking arm to a bunch of rose canes that are as big around as their own fucking wrist, PERHAPS, PERHAPS THESE THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN. JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND.
This is a call out post for my grandfather who I love and miss very much every day… Wish he was still here with us, to trim his fucking rose bushes
Rose bushes are fucking monsters. My mom planted them in front of my sister and my windows so no one would sneak in bc thorns you know. And we can’t kill them. We’ve tried. We’ve dug them up, poured kill shit on them, dug them up again. They just pop back up the next year like haha nice try! That was fun! We’ve given up all hope. Someday we will be free. We never water them. They are self sufficient and still thriving.
I hate rose bushes.
Are you sure your family is not under a magical curse?
I am absolutely not sure of that at all and would in fact place a large amount of human money on the fact that we are
This makes me infinitely more wary of the rose bush that just fucking sprouted up outside my office window a few years after we moved here.
@thebibliosphere it’s like Demon Rose!
Roses are indeed monstrous pains in the ass.
Depending on the species they’ll either die from too much/not enough sunlight or they’ll turn absolutely feral and devour two trellises, half a picket fence and just about everything else unfortunate enough to get in their way.
Naturally I’m planting more of them around the perimeter of my property. I want neither visitors nor survivors. Consider me socially distanced via rose bush. Six feet and advancing in all directions with worrying speed.
