I Can’t Imagine Her Saying That

I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered, but I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue:  No good in a bed but fine up against a wall.

Yellow and Orange Rose

Even though the quote is decidedly Mae West-ish, that was actually said by Eleanor Roosevelt.  That made my day.

This is one of the dozen roses currently residing in my bathroom.  I enjoy having fresh flowers in the house.

    I blogged a couple of weeks back about wishing someone would name a rose after me….That one is quite lovely. Sigh. I’m afraid mine would be all raggedy and cluttered.
