Plant Spotlight - Rose

Queen of the flowers, goddess of love. The countless stories of rose’s throughout history display beauty and sorrow, life and death. The story of love and pain lives within every part of a rose plant, the petals of beauty, scented with perfection also comes with the prickly vulnerability of thorns.

There is always a rose waiting to be found within the thorns. Life is beautiful in all moments of the good and the bad. Remember this as you go about your day, find the roses in the thorns. Beauty surrounds us always, take a minute to stop and smell the roses….or the roses in your Gatherwise.

Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.
