Is there anything more lovely as well as dainty and refined as a single rose? The sheer floral elegance conveyed by this most majestic of flowers is stunning. I would go further and venture to wax lyrical to the point of declaring the rose a veritable regal presence in the world of flowers, greens and plants. No wonder tending roses has always been a most lofty occupation or pastime.
In England rose gardens are still highly prized and for many people their rose garden is their genuine pride and joy. And it is easy to see why; the lovely delicate flowers with their fine petals, the bulbous shape of the flower itself. All this coupled with the enigmatic thorny stems. It is an intriguing combination that sets the imagination racing.
Of course, buying some bulk roses for a special occasion is always a good idea. There seems to be a type of rose for any occasion and everyone loves receiving a fine bouquet of roses.

THE ROSE ABANDONED
A rose
delicately preserved
pressed
between the pages of an old Webster
blood red
tinged with golden flecks
across
the once silky soft
petals
now hardened by time's
passing
and someone's memories
forgotten
I wished the abandoned
flower
could have spoken to me
though
it didn't have to
