Ode To My Garden Roses

Roses -delightful when they first appear
                      in spring
Roses –in my garden with multi hues
                      you sing
Roses – red and yellow, some pink, some tinged
                     with blue
My garden would be empty were it not
                      for you!

Roses -delightful in the summer still
                       to see
Roses rebirthing ; giving nectar to 
                the honeybee
Roses tantalizing hummingbirds 
                   so small
Standing with such elegance, always you
                   stand tall

Roses – in the autumn even then I see
                   you bloom
Roses underneath the sun or dreaming with
                   the moon
Roses – until winter – perpetual 
                    are you
I always know you will return. My love for you
                     is true

Hi Andrea As they say ‘A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose!’ My Garden has one complete section dedicated to these flowers and fill the place with their scent!
