In June I started to secretly search for the rose my mum fell in love with - called rhapsody in blue!
We first saw the rose while spending the morning down at Groves Nurseries in Bridport, back in January. Mum fell in love there and then, which I don't blame her - as the scent is wonderful and the colour is beautiful!
At first I couldn't find one, until I came across a rose company based in Cornwall! Then the second week in August came and I thought to my self " what am I doing???" - I keep going on about supporting local business's even the family run business. So I decided to email Groves at Bridport to see if they had any in stock. A few days later I received a reply back, to say that they had one in stock. So the next day after I had popped into town I phoned Groves to make my ordered. I had a lovely guy who answered the phone and took my ordered, I also decided on having the rose gift wrapped!
I really wanted it to be delivered on the 21st, which was a Tuesday, but they only deliver to my area on a Thursday. So I opted for the Thursday before!
The 16th of August arrived and I waited hoped and prayed that they would deliver before I went to work. I had just sat down at 11:30am to start drafting up a blog post, when the door was knocked. I opened the door and there was a young lad from groves holding the plant that I had ordered.
After I took the rose off him and said thank you to him. I knew I couldn't hide it from my mum, so I gave it to her... She was over the moon with it, She didn't even say "you shouldn't have"
