日曜日なので、穏やかな内容を書いています。
一部に熱狂的な人気のザ・プリンスですが、変わらず非常に美しいです。
今年は私は冬剪定が出来ていません。
暑さに非常に弱いので、漸く年始の忙しさも落ち着き、素敵な名前を持つ庭の手入れと思っていたら、2月に入り急に暑くなったので大事を摂って控えていたんです。
気がつけば3月に入ってしまい、私の住む街では今月末には桜が開く季節になりました。
薔薇ですが、今年1年は部屋を中心に静かに暮らすと決めているので、2025年の歳末に狙っていた珍しい大苗をいくつか購入しています。
無事、冬越しが出来たので、開花を待って皆さんにもご紹介出来ると思います。
以前、薔薇を始めようかなと思う方は大苗を購入した方が良いと書きましたが、大苗は非常に安定しているので育て易いからお勧めしました。
私もナーセリーで最初に大苗を買っています。今でも非常に元気で一番の気に入りです。
ザ・プリンスは今は流通に乗っていないようで、素敵な名前を持つ庭では少し隠れた日当たりの良い場所に置いています。
なので普段とは別の方々の毎日にそっと咲いていて、窓からの眺めで珍しい美しさを、ご存知無く彩っているといいな、と思っています。

ザ・プリンスの香りは、嗅ぐと誰もが「良い香り」だと思う匂いです。
ベランダの森に香りを放つ種類を、と考える気持ちに水を差す言葉を以前見かけたことがあります。
それも近所迷惑だと書いてありました。
馬鹿なんじゃないでしょうか？
素敵な名前を持つ庭には毎季節に合わせ、香りを持つ花が開く小さな樹が幾つか有りますが、貴方の家の洗濯物に着いている柔軟剤の香りよりもその芳香は弱いですよ、と言ってやりたかったので、今書いています。
ザ・プリンスは、咲き進むと花びらの先が丸くカールしていくのがとても面白いです。
見れば見る程、アントワーヌ・ド・サン＝テグジュペリの「星の王子様」を彷彿させる姿です。
この薔薇は夜にも良く似合い、ノクターンの調べを無音で奏でているようです。
夜想曲と呼ばれているこの楽曲は「ノクターン第2番 変ホ長調作品9」が正式名称です。
以前フジコ・ヘミングのコンサートをYouTubeで観た時、アンコールのラストに「ノクターン」を弾いていて、素敵な余韻で演奏を締めたのに感激したのを憶えています。
春宵とは本来、この位の冷えた早春の夜のことなんだそうです。
それを伺い、素敵な名前を持つ庭の温度計を見ると8度を指していました。
その気温帯では日が沈んだ後の空は、コバルト色に染まっています。

春の夜は静かなピアノの音が一番似合うと思います。
切ない出会いと別れの季節でもありますが、何処か浮き足立った感情が過ぎていて、意識してその感性を低くする位が丁度良いと考えています。
泣いている方を見かけると心配になるのは、人間や動物・虫・植物も同様ですが、 非常に傍らの者を動揺させるものであるからです。
だから昔から大人であればある程、子供の頃から一人で泣くのだと思います。
その透明な落下を共にするのは心を分かち合った一人だけにして、後は静かにしているのが、この頃の季節には一番良いと思うようになりました。
部屋の中で外を眺めながら、冷えた打学の音が零れ落ちる調べで、心に静かな波紋を繰り返し描くと、まだ見ぬ夜想の花の香りが夜の窓辺に届くかもしれません。
それでは、素敵な日曜日をお過ごし下さい。

Since it's Sunday, I'm writing something gentle.
The Prince, beloved by some with passionate fervor, remains as beautiful as ever.
This year, I haven't been able to do my winter pruning.
Since it's extremely sensitive to heat, I thought I'd wait until the New Year rush finally settled down to tend to this A Garden with a KAWAII Name.
But then February arrived and suddenly turned hot, so I decided to err on the side of caution and hold off.
Before I knew it, March arrived, and in my town, it's now the season when cherry blossoms bloom by the end of the month.
As for roses, I've decided to live quietly indoors this year, so I've purchased several rare large seedlings I'd been eyeing for the end of 2025.
They made it through winter safely, so I think I'll be able to introduce them to everyone once they bloom.
I previously wrote that those considering starting roses should buy large plants, recommending them because they are very stable and easy to grow.
I also bought my first large plant at a nursery. It's still very healthy and my absolute favorite.
The Prince seems to be out of circulation now, so I've placed it in a slightly hidden, sunny spot in A Garden with a KAWAII Name.
So, I hope it quietly blooms for people other than usual, adding a touch of rare beauty to their daily view from the window, even if they don't know it.

The Prince's fragrance is the kind of scent that makes everyone think, “That smells nice.”
I once saw words that dampened the spirit of wanting to plant fragrant varieties in the balcony forest.
It said they were a nuisance to the neighbors.
Are they crazy?
I'm writing this because I wanted to tell them: While my A Garden with a KAWAII Names does have a few small trees that bloom with fragrant flowers each season, their scent is weaker than the fabric softener on your laundry.
As it blooms, the tips of the petals curl into a round shape, which is quite fascinating.
The more I look at it, the more it reminds me of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's “The Little Prince.”
This rose also suits the night well, seeming to play a silent nocturne.
This piece, called a nocturne, is formally titled “Nocturne No. 2 in E-flat major, Op. 9.”
I remember being deeply moved when I watched a Fujiko Hemming concert on YouTube; she played the “Nocturne” as the final encore, ending the performance with a beautiful, lingering resonance.
I hear that a spring night should be this chilly, like an early spring evening.
Hearing that, I looked at A Garden with a KAWAII Name, and it read 8 degrees.
At that temperature, the sky after sunset is dyed cobalt blue.

Spring nights are best suited to the quiet sound of piano music.
It's a season of bittersweet encounters and farewells, yet the restless emotions have passed, and I find it just right to consciously dampen that sensitivity.
Seeing someone cry makes me worry—it's the same for humans, animals, insects, and plants—because it deeply unsettles those nearby.
That's why, since ancient times, I believe the more mature one is, the more they learn to cry alone from childhood.
I've come to believe that sharing that transparent fall with only one person who truly understands your heart, and keeping the rest quiet, is best for this time of year.
Gazing outside from within your room, as the chilled notes of piano music trickle down like a melody, drawing quiet ripples in your heart again and again, the scent of an unseen nocturnal flower might just reach your window in the night.
Well then, have a wonderful Sunday.
