Roses Are Not Always Red

SEXY REXY wanted
JUST JOEY because she
loved his IRISH EYES.
Joey was not up to
HANKIE PANKIE because
he was THE CONSTANT
GARDENER. So,he asked
DAVID AUSTIN to forget 
his roses and use his
ORANGES AND LEMONS 
to give the LADY a
RAPSODY IN BLUE 
beneath the BLUE MOON.
It worked!!

My friend was certainly pleased to receive this little gift of a poem. I thought at the time she was advising me what roses to buy, the names were so pretty and poetic, I might be albe to work with them.

A midwife I work with was describing the different varieties she preferred in her garden. So, this is dedicated to you my friend, Lisa Rose.
