I cannot start this newsletter without first thanking you for all the support I have received; the emails with tips and congratulations, the recognition of customers in the shop and the affection of colleagues have made this week great.
Many thanks!!
Spring By Christina Rossetti
Frost-locked
all the winter,
Seed, roots, and stones of fruits
What shall make their sap ascend
That they may put forth shoots?
Tips of tender green,
Leaf, or blade, or sheath;
Telling of the hidden life
That breaks forth underneath,
Life nursed in its grave by Death.
| Blows the thaw-wind pleasantly,
Drips the soaking rain,
By fits looks down the waking sun:
Young grass springs on the plain;
Young leaves clothe early hedgerow trees;
Seed and roots, and stones of fruit,
Swollen with sap put forth their shoots;
Curled-headed ferns sprout in the lane;
Birds sing and pair again.

While I was contemplating this marvelous picture, I remembered that at breakfast, I forgot to take my hay fever pill..... Oh no, I'll have a hay fever all day! - Spring isn't that perfect after all
Anyway, I have to tell you about my guilty pleasure.
Last year, Lloyd asked me to buy the roses for the 2022 season. Giving me this mission was like giving me a credit card with no money limit and asking me to choose what I want without having to pay.
Of course, when you buy with someone else's money it's super easy! So, as a good representative of the female gender, I bought a bit more than we planned; Lloyd asked me for 17,000 roses, and I ordered about 23,000. It's 6,000 roses extra, oops
Next, I share with you some of my favourite roses. I hope some of you will be satisfying your guilty pleasure by getting "some" online.

Cheers Lloyd, Tony and the Wairere team.
