MORE ON ROSES
Later I will show you how to paint a roses but for now it is important to understand exactly how
roses are constructed. It seems they have thorns on the stems, five leaves on the shoots and
things called sepals and corollas. This sort of information was not graspingly important to me
during my younger years when getting a football over a line or a girl into a backseat were more
pressing and roses were stolen from a neighbourhood garden to celebrate grandma's infrequent
visits. That's when I first discovered the thorns.
Next I found there are two types of roses; the simple and the complicated. Apparently the
simple are the early primitive variety with five petals while the complicated are also known as
hybrids, which it seems have more colors and mutations than the livestock around Chernoble.
