I love roses and my fingers always seem to get in the way of those teeth when I prune, even through leather. Thanks so much.

My now deceased father-in-law used to say there are thorns among the roses but aren't those roses sweet. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

They are indeed sweet and who can blame a rose for defending itself? Glad you dropped by and thanks.

If you were closer I would show you how hard I bit myself to prove you were right when I got to the juicy biting part!

Ouch! I felt that! Okay if your teeth are that treacherous then, don't bite yourself again. I can not be responsible for such incidents.
