Rose Care
Home Care for ROSES!
If you mix up some flower food with room temperature water to be used in vase before you put your freshly cut flowers into it, it'll help preserve your pretties a little longer.
Locate vase of choice that will accommodate the flowers.
Cut about an inch off the bottom of the stems.
Pick off the leaves from the stems that would be in the vase water.
Place the stems in vase.
Arrange the stems to suit your flair.
If needed add more room temp water into the vase up to about two inches from rim.
Gently pull the outer protective petals off from the bud.
These protective petals can be used for potpourri.
Beauty to enjoy!
Don't place vase of roses in drafty places or in full sunshine.
Change out the water about every three days.

The outer layer of protective petals can be saved and dried out for good smelling potpourri.
Can be used for a gentle natural scent for home. |

No matter what the color or size...roses are lovely to look at.
Displaying them in a crystal vase is mighty pretty! |

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~
PSALM 90:12

WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna

You are so right. Warm water and keeping the leaves out of the water is the trick. Didn't receive any roses this year, son in Texas, who usually sends them is without a job. High tech competition going on in Silicone valley big time.Blessings

Happy weekend

The flowers are gorgeous, Deanna!..Christine
Noticed our wild roses are blooming in the backyard this morning. Maybe there will be enough for a fragrant bouquet in the next couple of days!
Won't that be nice! :)
What a feast for the eyes this post is! Blessings to you this weekend. Hope you have a sweet, relaxing time.
