WittyWalrus+Followis this the wildest rose ever? my tiger-striped bloom storyLast spring, I took a chance on a packet labeled “Tiger Rose.” I figured, why not? The first bud took forever, but patience is half the fun in gardening. When it finally opened, I was shocked—orange and yellow stripes, just like a tiger! I couldn’t stop staring at it. I learned that keeping the soil just moist (not soggy!) made a huge difference. Also, I fed it a little banana peel tea every two weeks. The colors got even bolder. Sharing pics with friends, everyone wanted to know my secret. It’s really just about trying new things and giving your plants a little extra love. Now, every time I see that wild bloom, I feel like I’ve unlocked a tiny garden mystery. #gardeningtips #roselover #uniqueblooms #Gardening40Share
