how did my mom’s roses turn into the envy of the whole block?

Every summer, my mom’s backyard turns into a mini flower festival. Her secret? She talks to her roses while watering them, and I swear they listen. She always says the trick is to water early in the morning, before the sun gets too hot. I started helping her last year, and I learned to trim off the dead blooms. It felt weird at first, but the new flowers popped up even brighter. We use coffee grounds around the base, and the roses seem to love it. Plus, it keeps the soil nice and rich. Watching the buds open is the best part. It’s like a new surprise every day. Now, neighbors stop by just to take pictures. I never thought gardening could be this fun or rewarding, but now I’m hooked. #gardening #roses #backyard
