Thorns Have Roses

Some people grumble
that roses have thorns
I am grateful that
thorns have roses.
...Alphonse Karr

I liked this two color rose. It reminds me of a childhood favorite from the ice cream truck...the popsicle Big Stick which is cherry and pineapple swirl. Delish! Pretty on Black.

From my trip to the McKinley Park Rose Garden in Sacramento.
