Rose

Red and white or pink and yellow too,
Orange, purple, two toned - even blue,
Scented petals, fragrant and divine:
Ev’ry rose was plucked to make her mine.

I hope you won her heart with this colorful bouquet, Jack. You'll surely be a winner in the contest. My favorite roses are called "tea roses." They have yellow, orange and red in them -- no blue though, boo hoo. Wishing you success, dear friend! Love, Carolyn
