Yes... it is. *S*

Her answer should be a given... who could resist the chance to create beauty together? *S*

Hahaha..... When I first glanced at the title I thought it said "Bare Foot Roses" and thought I have to read this one.
LOL Oh! My! Blind in one eye and can't see out of the other.
Beautiful poem.
Love Bon-Bon

So what's the harm in asking for more?
The worst she can do is show you the door! LOL

There are those who do not ask
Who turn their heads, instead to bask
In thoughts it wouldn't matter anyway...
Then wonder why nothing comes their way.
Others find courage to take a chance
Whether with heart or with garden's plants
They're the ones who breathe the perfume
Of both lasting love and roses' bloom.

I love roses, Ed. How could she resist planting
a rose with you....that is if she loves them, too!!! LOL

To tell you the truth, I would plant anything with
my Love!! She should jump at the chance, too, with you!!

Oh, and do plant the "Peace" rose, like Karilea suggested.
Those are the most beautiful rose. My favorite, too.

Ed...this is beautiful.  I was just telling my 13 year old daughter about your plant and flower series...you know I still can't get that oleander out of my mind...I think it's hanging 'round as a reminder to read Ratleader!  

Wonderful write.

Compelling thoughts here Ed...
Not always easy to bare the roots, and approach the garden open hearted...
Smiling at you,

I enjoyed this one. It's simple, and then it's not really.

I just want to see the roses bloom, months from now.  Like new seeds we sew and look forward to....

As I do your poetry, Ratleader~
