Anniversary Roses...

Mr. D brought these home to me on Jan. 12(20 year) and these are what they look like today, 18 days later.  It's probably not that cool, but I'm also known as the "Silk Plant Killer".  I can't keep plants alive and you can't expect me to help along anything that has already been chopped off.  My game plan for these though was to just not sweat it and worry about keeping them alive for long at all.  And, guess what!  It worked!

I haven't touched these.  Seriously.  I stuck them in this spot near the window and have completely left them alone.  No water, nothing.  I haven't even talked to them like true gardeners talk to their lovely growths.  I keep waiting for a petal to fall off or the leaves to turn black and rot, but so far nothing.  It's just plain old tap water as well and it's still clear.  Down about 2 inches, I can see the water line, but it's still clear!  Good job Mr. D!
