the art of roses
nemesistic bloodlines,
corpuscle to corpuscle,
blue ribbon thornies.
rose bush blossoms
thrive – here to there.
tiny tea hybrids,
climbing grandifloras,
gardeners' surprises.
pasteurized heirlooms,
english blends, and old
garden lore - cultivated
in hard soil vintage pots.
a few ramblers, rugosas,
sweet surrenders, and Grand
Thomas's. even veteran’s honor.
ground cover, a black baccara,
germinations. an ill-formed
original double-red knockout,
removed from iridescent safety.
their well fashioned arboretum.
flourished a rogue non-
thorny. seeded. rooted.
in high-centered, double,
bloomed resonance.
the art of roses.
