... Becomes the Rose ♪♪

"Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed
That with the sun's love, in the spring
Becomes the rose."

A couple of summers ago my sister, Katy, helped me revamp my flower beds. OK, she revamped my flower beds while I mostly watched... but, in my defense, she would not let me do any digging and/or bending because of my fairly new hip. After she left I bought several roses and a few of them have survived, with this being the prettiest of the roses I have gotten so far. I cropped it square, but other than that it is sooc.
WOW! Gorgeous flower AND shot! Thanks for the credit! ;~} ♥
