Plant of the Day

Friday 28 March 2025

Here Rosa ‘Belle Isis’ (old rose, shrub rose) has been pruned and trained to increase the number of flowers for the coming season by removing apical dominance to allow more lateral flower buds. This rose cultivar has delicate pink blooms with a mass of swirled petals and myrrh fragrance. The plant was raised by Louis-Joseph-Ghislain Parmentier, in France, and entered cultivation in 1845. It is one of the parents of Rosa ‘Constance Spry’’.

I’m not sure if this is a stretch, but I saw that Taylor was at the Old Rose restaurant in NYC last night. I know she has a song called “Is It Over Now?” And the song has the line “With the wilt of the rose” = Old Rose? And “Let’s fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later”I checked, and 300 days ago was July 1. Taylor and Travis were at a restaurant somewhere.                        

Do you think that means anything?

OMG! You have done great! This is the stuff we love around here.

Once the flight had flown (Uh-huh) With the wilt of the rose (Uh-huh) I slept all alone (Uh-huh) You still wouldn't go Let's fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor You search in every maiden's bed for somethin' greater, baby

Was it over when she laid down on your couch? Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse? "Come here," I whispered in your ear In your dream as you passеd out, baby Was it over then? And is it over now?
