I purchased this is in honor of my favorite veteran, but also in memory of one who meant so much to me and in honor of the others who are still in my life and very much loved and appreciated.
Sadly, It did not bloom, but it did survive 3 nights of frost (I put a baggie over the bloom)....so I brought it in, de-thorned it, put it in a vase, and gave it to my favorite veteran.
