Pushing Up Roses
About 40 years ago, my mother split and then transplanted a rose bush from my grandfather’s farm. It took, but it never bloomed. She only kept it because it grew into the fence nicely and kept us kids from climbing it.
My grandfather passed about five years after she transplanted it…and that spring it bloomed with red roses. A few years after that, my grandmother passed and that spring it bloomed with white roses. These are the only two years that it has ever bloomed. Story credit: Reddit / (RichardDune91)
