    My ex-bf left me several months ago, i hope that he can come back again, so i want to plant some roses for him, i know that Bf often send roses to his gf and show his love, i just think roses can show my love, so i determine to plant them for him, but now it is Jan7, and is it too late to plant now? and they won't blossom in Feb.
    I am the new one for gardening, so i don't know much about it. Do you have some ideas to make them grow faster? Thank you very much!

        Roses only flower in the summer. Boyfriends only come back if they have a good reason. Roses are not a good reason.
        Rules of the nature. Learn to deal with it and everything will be alright!

          Thank you. I know it. I known we couldn't be together when we were together,maybe just I can't accept the fact and just need much time to forget. I know my roses won't blossom or blossom in long time latter.

          If he's gone he's gone, sounds like a lost cause, Don't dwell on it. Roses won't help. Plant something else and try to move on.

          I say you need to let go, move on, and forget about the ex. Grow roses, great, they are beautiful. But they are not magic.

          As long as you hold onto the idea of something that's gone, you can't move on, and can't be happy. Let go, start fresh. Mr Right might be just round the corner, but you'll never recognise him if you expect him to be your ex.
