These gorgeous flowers have stayed a "favorite" seems like forever.........

In this drought season,  my yard is sporting only one rose bush.   I am not certain if I will keep even that one.   The weather has not been kind to my  "Yellow  Rose  of  Texas".   Some buds,  i have snipped and taken indoors to show off.   They really aren't well,  though.


I have pondered and debated about keeping it or "digging" it up.  Frankly,  I am not that interested  in pampering it.   Long ago,  it seems,  I used to "really"  like them.  Things change,  I changed and although they are beautiful,  my  "Yellow" rose bush has probably seen better days.


A few more pictures, ..........

The color of this beauty is exceptional 

A color like this "rose" reminds me of fine lingerie ....  soooooo  soft !  


I'm just going to give these "precious"  gems their due.   Today,  just remember them and all the times these flowers have graced hallways,  card tables,  offices,  receptionists  desks ,  birthday parties and so much more.   


Many times I have pruned my bush,  never ever thinking of it "not" gracing my garden.  How do you feel about roses ?   Please leave me a comment.   I'd very much appreciate hearing your point of view regarding this "eternal"  flower.  


Will they always ...... "BE"  ?
