Wanna see some undead roses?

When I first got this rose and it did this I thought....must be the fact that it has been raining so much that it just never opened - just got this creepy undead look.

Davis Graveyard Undead Rose
Now, I am not complaining....that is pretty cool, but not really what I wanted.

I thought....it will be fine next year.

It was not, it did the same thing....has for about 4 years now.

So the Davis Graveyard has a undead rose bush.  How cool is that?!

To make up for it almost all the other roses in the garden are blooming.
Gemini

Ferdinand

Queen Elizabeth

Yes, the Frog Queen has a pink rose....I have several of them actually.  I can handle pink in very small doses.  And this particular rose is on of my favs.

    Now, every graveyard needs some undead roses! And I think these are so very lovely .... uhhmmm ... maybe I should say 'unlovely'. And the other roses are absolutely gorgeous!!

    Ooh...the undead most certainly adds a sinister touch to the garden! I really love the purple striped one. Don't know if I've ever seen one that color before!

    You could cut the undead roses, dry them out and use a bouquet of them on one or more of your graves this Halloween! :o)

    Thanks everyone. Do not remember the name of that rose, I need to dig back through my journal and find it. I am sure it is not supposed to do that - I just got lucky :D

    Cheers!

    Roses are naturally sinister flowers, in spite or because of their beauty. Those are particularly sinister.
