i was able to help a Bredon (Rose)flee from a garden center where lots of plants were in terrrible state due to thorough neglicence of the shop-owner(s); for 2,5 Euro they gave me way with it.
only .. the beautiful truth only occurred to me when i looked up the blurred grown tag -i had to free the shrub from it as included in the trunk- on the InterNet !
so / i am honoured to have Her Royalness Bredon in my poststampsized garden : it resides in the soil for three days now.
however, and here there's some of a SHADOW OF A DOUBT : the buds (one BIG !)don't seem to feel like showing their secrets. in the shop i noticed brown dots on the shrub too, but still i took it home and planted it alongside a salvia (uliginosa) and a tagetes.
maybe the shrub needs something i am yet unaware of ?
p.s.this was a question AND a comment
