'Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming all alone, All her lovely companions are faded and gone. No flower 'Tis the last of her kindred, No rose bud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes, Or give sigh for sigh.
Happy Green Thumb Sunday!

Very pretty Rose and a sad coming to an end of the summer. But the seasons are important(I keep telling myself).
