Tomato plant. Mini rose plants always die right away. Plus, tomato plants are much more useful.
What do you think? Answer below!
Definitely a rose bush. Roses are not that hard to care for and they will provide beauty for years if properly taken care of. Even though your mother loves tomatoes, A tomato is an annual plant that dies when it freezes. A rose bush will remind your mother of your love for years to come when she sees it bloom.
A rose bush needs a well drained soil. Do not plant in a spot that is always soggy because the rose will die. They need watered regularly in the summer if you live in a dry climate. Plant them in an area that gets at least six hours of full sun per day. Roses need fertilized at least two times per year, maybe more depending on the kind of fertilizer you use. Prune off dead flowers as they die. This promotes new growth. Prune them back to the first set of 3 leaves on the stem. You may need to spray roses for bugs and fungi once in a while also. You can get all these products (fertilizer, insecticide, and fungicide) from a company called Gardens Alive. Their products are good. Every spring, before roses begin to come out of dormancy, they need pruned back to about 6 to 8 inches from the ground….Happy gardening!
Get both. The tomato can grow in a container or the ground. A rose bush will need to be planted in the ground. She can eat the tomatoes thai summer and enjoy the roses for years.
