fileId:3096224743917837;size:inter; Loyal blooms of rose and brit,

Keep their brilliant heads uplift.

Offered sweetness anyway

As if to say, "Oh, it's OK".

Petals soft but slowly drying,

Leaves and stems as if goodbying.

One last show to bid farewell,

Farewell my beauties, come back again,

Come back to me and be my friends.

Thanks Jessie! I think that is what I was feeling too. We have had such a dry warm summer for western WA, and it makes me sad to see my pretty roses just crispy but still putting out blooms. My best one is called Reba, and it is a fighter. It is always amazing to me to see old rose bushes that continue to bloom despite being neglected.

Marilyn is looking for whatever there is. N. Sep 25, 2006, 2:01am EDT

Beautiful, Carol. We had strange weather this year so roses and such haven't done as well as other years - maybe next year?
