Yes, it is frenchie frenchie frenchie! I wrote that one with you in mind...kind of a battle of our orange roses! hahahah. Tell your wife, will ya for fun? ....I almost couldn't locate your orange rose buried underneath the two ka-zillion poems u have written since this...I can tell that poetry is so therapeutic for you...it really shows. I also looked up the meaning for an orange rose with is to send a signal to a lover that you want to pursue a deeper relationship. It can also be used to celebrate an accomplishment! G.

What if u gave an orange rose to someone as a celebration rose and they perceived it as-you want to have a deeper relationship? WhOA! Mixed signals, right! haha. :) Gwenodlen

what a beautiful write, Russell - I don't think I've ever seen one, but it sure sounds lovely. My wife only likes flowers growing in the ground, so I guess I'd have to buy the whole bush for Sue and plant it, lol

Russell, you don't see many of them, do you? I think they would be those pretty peach colored ones? I enjoyed this poem. And since I added my own rose bush to my front yard the other day, I think it has become my favorite flower ever.
