Shopping for flowers

My Mom and I went off to a plant nursery today. They were having some great sales on annual flowers. One of the main reasons I wanted to go was for the roses on sale. All varieties are on sale.

This is my first time doing anything with roses. I think they are beautiful, but hear that they are hard to take care of. I went around all the varieties and read the labels, trying to match up the right kind of rose for my skill level. The one I picked blooms all year, can be left in over the winter but must be covered, needs to be trimmed down in the spring, and the spent flowers must be pruned off. Also mentioned that the roses need fertilizer all growing season. Hope I'll be able to handle it!

I also bought a bleeding heart bush and 12 different varieties of annuals. The annuals were pretty picked through and some were all sold out already. I tried to pick the best plants. A few flowers had broken stalks around the buds.

So far there are no sprouts coming up in the hummingbird garden. I checked the directions, but it doesn't say how long it takes for the flowers to come up. I weeded around with the garden claw because there are unwanted visitors coming up in the hummingbird garden.
