rose.

Hate roses!?! What, what, what?? Oh no, off with your head, for painting the roses red (hacking away)! Sorry, I had to bust out with my Queen of Hearts, from Alice in Wonderland. You must courtsey while you think, it saves time my dear :) Why do you hate the roses? They're so pretty and they smell so yummy.

They make me think of graveyards! But they aren't so bad after all...I guess I can't complain yet re: the lack of blooms, seeing as how I did try to kill it for years.....
You're too funny tasteyg..you make me laugh!

If this is from hacking at them occasionally, perhaps I should take up the practice! Glad you decided to leave them be...eh, bee (that's what keeps them going), like the one in your picture.
