Rose

My other favourite flower - but only if they are scented and many of the modern ones are not.
Remember making perfume as a child by mashing up rose petals??
Was in to minds whether to keep Blipping but my conscious was bothering me....

Roses by George Eliot

You love the roses - so do I. I wish
The sky would rain down roses, as they rain
From off the shaken bush. Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white
And soft to tread on. They would fall as light
As feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be
Like sleeping and like waking, all at once!
