roses2

They can also climb, form a bush and grow from a stick in the ground. They are also named

after folk I have never heard of.

There are some positives however and the fact that without roses the English language would

be devoid of the excitingly beautiful word 'floribunda' ... and 'tea' would be reduced to a mere

beverage. In addition it seems some hardy souls have devoted their lives to grafting miles upon

miles of thorny stems together as pleasure, rather than the torture it would seem to normal

people.

I must say that since I have had bunches of the things in the studio (for painting purposes only)

the general aroma of gum spirit and sweat has lessened. For that alone many are greatfull.
