I feel like "
Le Petit Prince" of Antoine de Saint-Exupery, trying to save my Rose! LOL
I have been checking on that Rose for 6 days!
I patiently removed and destroyed those hungry
Japanese Beetles that don't show any mercy for my little flower, I fertilized the dirt and I placed some Bugs Traps. In vain... Every day, the
Beetles are back more determined than ever to get that little Rose!!!
So, today after 6 long days of fighting for her life, I decided to short my poor little Rose's misery.
After getting rid of her molesters I cut her off and invited to stay home with us.
I know her days are numbered but after all she has been through, I think she deserves to go nicely, comfortably displayed in a cup of water at home and surrounded by the ones who love and admire her beauty...
Of course, she has been physically scarred by the repeated assault of which she has been the victim, but does it really matter? She is finally BUG FREE and in Peace... :)
