I like roses. They smell good in the morning with dew on it. They feel soft and come in many colours. Some roses have thorns so they can protect themselves. Other roses have no thorns. People no longer like bushes or flowers with thorns. What hurts they change into something new. A new colour, size, a smaller bush, tree or hedge of roses. I don't care about thorns or colour. A rose is a rose and I think outside they make a garden or fence looking bright. Thorns protect plants and without it can hardly survive. Nothing is without any reason.
The rose on the photo was white but is changing into pink. Perhaps it is red one day? Red roses are the strongest that's what I heard them say.

Roses are expensive. Red roses stand for love and the white one? They are bought and seen at special occassions by rich people, Kings, Queens but also at weddings, funerals and exclusive restaurants.

Out of the leaves of a rose you can make rose water. It smells good and can make you smell good. Not every rose smells so before you start you better use your nose first.

Did you know you can eat roses too? After sniffing at it grandpa ate it! Groceries, vegetable sellers and supermarket sell roses for people to eat. No roses to decorate the house but for a meal.

Out of rosebuds you can make marmalade and lemonade. People used to do that but with a fast lifestyle and fast food roses became ornamental flowers and a luxury product not everyone can buy.

I don't know why roses are so expensive. I heard it is easy to grow them. You can even use the stem of a rose that died in a vase and stick it into a potatoe to make it develop roots which will be way faster than using rosebuds or seeds.

Roses are rare on graves. Once a rose is cut and sold to decorate, being placed in a vase it's dying fast. Most roses sold in a flowershop are two till three weeks old (old means from the moment they are cut).

Dogs don't care much about thorns. The bushes are great to sleep underneath. Shadow guaranteed and it's a way to get rid of the hair.
