I use to have roses since I was 4. My first rose was La France. My first baby sitter planted just one cutting near to the window of my parents' bedroom, at the garden. She was "My rose", as The Little Prince had his one. So, she grown up about 6 ft. After some years, my brother was born and my dad had to expand the house. Then, he took my rose from her place and tried do replan, but she didn't survive. At this time, I was 6. Since this age I stared to look for "My rose" everywhere. As time passed by, I realize that no other rose in the world would be like her. Now, I have a rose garden with 350 different roses.
