Opulence Rose

My gardening friend, shifting homes and gardens, has given me an Opulence rose. It's a most interesting rich red rose, with some hidden secrets...

Ah - Opulence! My friend sighs and beams, wiggling as some thoroughly luscious memory has just tickled her skin. For her this is an evocative mind-and-body rose - it could just be the name, but I suspect more. It's not just the in-built romance of the red rose.

 An expensive and luxurious rose...

Perhaps my friend is just pining for her lost youth? More likely her lost garden. Meanwhile Opulence sits in the Moosey Willow Tree Garden, a short, fat matron in a brilliantly fluffy, if slightly messy red dress. Oops - my friend loves to wear red...

 Sorry that the flowers are so messy!

The rose Opulence has survived the shift, and loves her new country garden home, though it is not as luxurious as she may expect. Her secrets are safe with me...
