A Beautiful Rose Is Nature's Gift
By Mike Yeager
Roses are one of natures most beautiful and splendid gifts. Roses come in
a variety of colors and scents, from deep, deep red to the brightest yellow.
The many pedals on roses offer a texture and fullness to roses that far outshine
any other flowers. Black roses, red roses and white roses have all been used
in historical writings. Even Sherlock Holmes paused from his busy work while
solving the case of "The Naval Treaty" and said, "All other
things …are really necessary for our existence…But this rose
is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition
of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have
much to hope from the flowers.
It’s interesting that something as beautiful as roses are also equipped
with sharp thorns. An interesting play on our concept of taking the good with
the bad from nature. The most esteemed of all cultivated plants, are the true
roses. Rosa occurs indigenously in the north temperate zone and in tropical
mountain areas, usually as erect or climbing shrubs with five-petaled fragrant
flowers. The rose has been a favorite flower in many lands since prehistoric
times. It appears in the earliest art, poetry, and tradition. It has been used
in innumerable ways in decoration. In ancient times it was used medically.
But, for many gardeners just being able to grow beautiful roses is reward enough.
You can search all over the web to find some great resources to help. Yellow
roses, blue roses or climbing roses can all be found on the internet. Take
your time to look around and consider what kind of roses you would like to
have blooming in your garden.
