In these three years, I sent my mother a seedling pot of rose for Mother's Day. She likes gardening very much, and she especially loves rose.
When May comes, I ask her which color of rose she wants. I have sent yellow and pink already. " I want red, but expensive?" said she hesitately. Red rose would be the symbol of "luxury" to her.
No problem. I know one of the most famous rose farms; "Keisei Bara Engei " in Chiba. I got to know the farm by NHK gardening program "Shumi no Engei." It has a shopping website (and you can choose by inputting color, size of a flower, strength of fragarance, for beginners, etc.

I ordered a pot of new seedling. The pot will be delivered in the late of this month. My Mother's Day present is always late for the day, but it's OK because my mother has been enjoying the roses I sent.
"shikizaki"(literally, all season blooming) types of them gives her a beautiful view four times or more a year.
