Scion Rose

There's a rose that grows in the garden
It's a scion of exceptional stock
Problem is it's not hardy
So the wild keeps blooming about

But when a bloom from the scion
Opens, it is such a beautiful sight
The scent is outstanding exceptional 
It draws me out at midnight

Just to enjoy its present
To feast on the scent a delight
And touch the soft velvet petals
Glad that I chose this rose that night

very good visual depiction... This poem is good not only in the obvious delight of a night garden visit, but as an allegorical view as well. MoonBee Canady
