Potted roses are said to live only ten years, but this guy has cared for his for fifty years, and it blooms every year to repay him.
Some say potted roses live only 10 years! But this guy has cared for this potted rose for 50 years, and it blooms every year to repay him!
Some flower lovers say that potted roses have a lifespan of around 10 years, while roses planted in the ground live longer, around 30 years. Roses are one of the fine flowering plants that protect the human living environment; their blooming period is long and their flowers are fragrant, which has won them the affection of many women.
For a long time, everyone has liked to keep potted roses for just 3-6 years before throwing them away, thinking they have grown old and no longer put out new branches or bloom much. In fact, this is not so: as long as you care for them and tend them with dedication, they will still put out new branches and bloom just as brilliantly.
Many people who have grown roses for about 6 years, when the branches are aging and drying up, think the plant has grown old and it is time for it to go! In fact, it is far too early. Just look at this old-stump rose bonsai of this guy's, and you will know that the older it gets, the younger it becomes, and it still blooms every year!
Can friends guess the age of this potted rose? Look at such an old stump, still putting out new branches and new buds; it is clear how much care and attention this guy has given it!
Among flower lovers there is a saying that growing flowers is growing people: people nurture flowers, and flowers nurture people! It means: "When we care for plants with dedication, the plants also bring us a lot of happiness. If you care for them with dedication, they will also present their best to you!"
Finally, what I want to tell fellow flower lovers is that this guy has cared for this potted rose for 50 years, and the happiness it has brought him is its continuous blooming every year...
