TODAY'S FLOWERS, & I Heart Macro - Masses of Roses

Today is reserved for the queen of all flowers, the Rose

here are just a hand full from my garden

be it sun kissed apricot

or soft as a maiden's blush 

a massed effect on my table

or a rootstock sucker left to ramble

virginal white

or a lover's delight

or even deep purple like the silent shade of night

they grace our existence, awake our emotions

our hearts expand to their heady scent.

I could give you reams of information but I will leave you with

just one tip: if a rose dies, do not plant another in it's place,

it too will die unless you completely exchange the soil

for more than the root space of the dear departed.
