Rosa 'Juliet', also known as the Juliet rose or Sweet Juliet, is a popular English shrub rose developed by David Austin, known for its soft apricot-colored, tightly petaled blooms and mild tea-like fragrance. It is a vigorous, upright shrub that blooms repeatedly from late spring to fall and is excellent for cutting and floral arrangements. The rose thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and is suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 5a-9b.

The Juliet Rose is not only considered to be one of the rarest flowers in the world, but it's also the rarest rose in the world because it took 15 years for rose breeder David Austin to cultivate the flower in England. Additionally, it cost him a whopping $4.3 million to do so. By Ashley Sophia.

3:38 am in Kyiv.
No power,
no water
because of the attack.

It seems to be raining outside.

β€œTerrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

If Hastie ever becomes leader of the Liberals they will never get back into government. His views are misogynistic and outdated.
Australians have long moved on from having men like him as our leaders.

Not just that you will be punished for standing up for the oppressed, but that you will be ritually humiliated and made an example of.

This is so insane. Public education needs a massive boost, not cuts. Almost all non-gov schools are religiously affiliated in some way- why are we outsourcing education to religious orgs? Education is compulsory- we should have pride in and strengthen our secular public schools, not undermine them.

I’m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

Photo of a green rosella perched among blooms in a flowering shrub. It is a medium sized parrot which is not green, but largely bright yellow on its head and front, with blue wings. Its cheeks and chin are also blue, and it has spots of red feathers just above and below its beak, which is white.

I know that some of you care.
So, I’ll take a short break from social media –
a day or two.

Tomorrow’s live walk will happen
(if no alerts in Kyiv).
And I’m preparing a new letter
to be sent this week.

Live walk and letters will be on Patreon

"I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military."

This is the US President in front of 800 of the top generals suggesting to the head of the military that they use the US military on its citizens.

It might be time to do something about this.
