amazingly strong
december's frost is falling
they still show beauty





A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Today is a good day for this poem.
Here in Massachusetts we had our first snowfall.
Up to now, Our flowers have been in bloom.

Wonderful haiku, Titia.  Beautiful visual as well.

I like how the haiku itself doesn't mention the title, or what it refers to, at all.  That gives it a vagueness, letting the reader look at it in any way they wish.  And consequently, it also gives the title its importance.

Roses in december... I consider that a great symbol for nature thriving against itself.

Wonderful concept.

~Titia,...I've always felt that when my roses sneak out like that in the middle of winter's chill, that 'something' sent them to me, because it knew that I needed them. - This is so lovely to read tonight, with our first snow having just fallen. Thank you. *Peace.
