At times in the countryside you might come across a house that has fallen down or been destroyed. All that will remain is the brick chimney and some rose bushes.
Wow! I did not know that. Where is this Rose bush? I have to share something that my mom gave to me. She bought it at a craft show. It is a piece of slate painted in toll painting of roses with the quote, " Don't grumble that roses have thorns...be thankful that thorns have roses". Isn't that a great quote!
Amazing. My next door neighbor had a rose bush she had brought with her when she moved into her house in 1946. When she died, her son sold the house and the neighbor put up a fence. when he did, he removed the rose bush and replanted it in his back yard because her son had told him how important the rose bush had been to his mother. I applaud my neighbor who could have just whacked it down, but didn't. Roses are so much sturdier than we think they are.

Wow! Amazing!
And it could be ended by a hedge trimmer and some round up. It survived the luck game.

Hildesheim Cathedral in Germany.
No! I can hardly keep mine alive one season!
Interesting fact, had no idea.
No one knows that one, Sandy. Woah!
Isn't that something?
Just a little trip to Germany will take care of that:)
Next time you visit Hildesheim Cathedral.
That's always such a poignant sight, isn't it, Andrew?
That's for sure:)
Or as Birgit mentioned, Thorns have their roses:)
I had no clue. How awesome!
Just call me "Rose"! ;)
Interesting. I never expected to read this!

Heh. Indeed.

Scary thought.
Seriously.
Heh. Have you tried Knock Outs?
That's one tenacious rose bush, hey?
That's crazy how long plants can live! It reminds me of the tree folk in Lord of the Rings!
It is, isn't it, Lizabeth?
