A rose is a rose is a rose
Ms. Gertrude Stein sounds rather emphatic, doesn’t she? And who are we to argue. Heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned, they say and so, we shall brook no argument.
And since we’ve just broached the topic of roses in our previous post, did you know that we in namma Bengaluru have a fabulous Rose Garden to enjoy? Head here (courtesy: bangalore.metblogs.com) to check it out.
On the same subject, did you know that Bengaluru is also a, er, hotbed of rose production. Apparently, “…….Southern India’s floral corridor spreads from Hosur in northwestern Tamil Nadu to neighbouring Bangalore. Nearly 50-odd farms, growing roses on hundred of acres of land between Hosur and Bangalore, are besieged with orders for this Valentine’s Day from as far as Europe, Australia and Japan.” We see you turning your rose..er, nose at the claims above. Check out this report.
Before we put a stop to all these flowery claims, we (actually this author, but no telling who!) is left sighing over another quote about roses that he wishes were true.
“The sweetest flower that blows, I give you as we part. For you its Rose, For me it is my heart.”
With all due apologies to the honorable Frederick Peterson, was he refering to Ms. Rose aka Kate Hudson in the Titanic?
