    The Declaration was important.
    It didn’t say that America would be the best country because it would have the biggest military, toughest leaders, most government giveaways or tightest borders.

    1. Deadhead time
    Dead-head your roses whenever the aging flowers shatter. Dead-heading is the term for cutting off old blooms. Removing old flowers promotes higher-quality reblooming every six to eight weeks. Cut back to the first five-leaflet leaf low on the stem, or, to make it simpler, cut off all but about three inches of the spent flowering stem. Then apply some rose food and water it in well.
