| Prompt: Roses “Roses have thorns. Those are like flower fangs. Roses are the vampires of the plant world.” Jarod Kintz, A Memoir of Memories and Memes What do you think of this quote and do you like or dislike roses? --------- I love roses. I had a rose garden once, about forty years ago, with fifty-five different roses in it and I practiced grafting on them. I still have a two rose bushes in front of the house, no matter that the climate of Florida doesn't favor them. Then, a couple of months ago, I ordered a rose something from Amazon, which came broken with its four or five leaves in tatters. Still, instead of sending it back, I took a chance on it. I cut off the leaves and stuck the stem in a flower pot inside the porch. I really thought it had died from day one, but it didn't. It grew and it now has its first rose on it. I guess this proves that roses may be vampires. Well, just maybe, Well, it is still puny but looks like it'll be a healthy bush. Vampires in Bloom in velvet grace, they bloom with flair to find their place, in gardens fair but beware of their thorny arms and look beneath their petaled charms and fangs sharp, which they hide inside the shadows before they bite their fancy colors with dewy gloss a beauty to cover up your cost they drink and drink, yet they have thirst their scent so sweet, yet strangely cursed with no black cloaks, but in darkness curled roses are the vampires of my floral world |
