I am feeling proud of myself .......yet with a pang of regret....an internal conflict indeed! At the wet market this morning I caught sight of a couple of potted red black roses., very healthy looking., very enchanting I have previously bought plants from this same vendor before. He said a pot costs RM18 (he already sold one pot) .....but he was willingly to sell to me for just RM15......so to buy or not? Well, I have not been too successful on growing roses (see my blog on 'Roses, roses, roses'), but I was sorely tempted to take the offer ....! The red-black roses were so beautiful and rather unusual looking (no, I did not have my camera with me) ! So in a way, I am rather glad that I managed to keep to my pledge of not buying any rose plants - no matter how irresistible they are , until the day I can handle those existing roses in my garden! Mind you it was not easy to walk away from such lovely roses. .....but I did, with a heavy heart and a sense of loss somehow. Ok, so see how first next time......maybe, just maybe ......!

One day we will have a rose garden!
Okay...I found a blog on planting roses, will try to read more and learn. BTW, the rose cuttings my neighbor gave me is blooming now. It is a nice candy pink. One more has yet to produce any buds. I hope it is the yellow one.
