Blooming Rose Bush

A blooming rose bush like

fall's golden harvest only

will last for a short while,

so take in the fragrance

stand back and admire,

for it, like life will

soon be gone.

I have a whole long line of rose bushes going down the east side of my house. Two yellow, one pale pink that bleaches out to wgite as the blossom ages, two dark red and one bright pink. In my front yard I have a huge bright pink Alberta wild rose and by my fence I have a gold colored rose that is trimmed in pink. Roses and lilacs are my favs. A fine write my friend. Thanks for sharing. God Bless, JB
