Don't Tell The Roses
~*Marge Tindal*~


Don't tell the roses it's Winter
for they are not ready to sleep
Up from their beds popping new heads
greeting me with bouquets of keep~

No mentioning that it isn't springtime
as the roses continually bloom
Crystal-vased beauties enchanted
wafting fragrance across the room~

Shh, don't tell the roses it's winter
when snowflakes sometimes fall
With petaled beauty of their gifting
they are bursting forth with their all~

I'll not tell the roses the season
if they promise to bloom right on through
There simply could be no reason
for the roses to ever feel blue~


~Right now our rose bed is blooming like it's Spring~
Thank you, Bill ... you know how I love them and you

Marge, I too love roses. So, I won't tell. This is a beautiful rose. And, the poem is just as beautiful.

Dear Marge:  Lucky you, smelling the roses! But then, when you live in Florida, they probably do bloom most of the year.  I do have a lilac bush budding out!  It doesn't know it's winter either.  Loved the poem.

Marge~ A lovely picture & poem.
Roses are so delicate & beautiful.
I think a light layer of snow on the petals
of a rose adds to it's beauty even though it does cause the petals to wilt and fall off...Paul

If you ship me a dozen of those beauties, I won't tell either!

Lovely as always, Marge!

Beautiful Marge.  I thought it was the LOVE rose.  Very similar.  We sometimes have roses to Christmas but an early freeze the first of November took care of that.  Thanks for the touch of spring.  Love, Joyce

Marge,
This is beautful!  The rose is my favorite flower and also my oldest daughter's birth flower!  I love their fragrance and they leave a sense of serenity for me....Thanks for sharing this!

Hello Marge

Such a lovely bouquet of words from your kind heart.  I have nearly 70 roses in my garden and they are blooming beautifully at the moment even though we are going through a drought here in Australia.  I'll think of you when I next smell the roses.

Take care........Sue
