the rose police

I have been feeling somewhat guilty lately. It concerns my roses which I have neglected to the point of not even seeing them while I'm taking care of my other container plants. The Japanese Beetles have had their way with them again this summer and I just got tired of mixing up poison, like the old witch-queen in Snow White. This morning I took my shears to them and lets just say--gave them a summer haircut. I'm sure they will start blooming again, after all, this hot/humid weather is just what they strive on. Maybe by that time, the beetles will be on their way back to Japan.
I'm starting The Girls of Room 28 Friendship, Hope, and Survival in Theresienstadt by Hannelore Brenner. I'm on page four...
