'impacted by, not my' (e.g. I am often impacted by your writing in a very good way.)
Maybe roses are being mal-poisoned by less Malathion use. (I wonder who came up with that name. Almost as though they want to rub it in...somewhere. )
If only they would pull the business models out of their immaculately laundered sleeves...those sleeves are reserved for the iron forearms & fists that they plan to insert into our analog of where they're pulling those business models out of. (Sorry, you sorry militant grammarians of yesteryear, I'll finish with a preposition regardless of whether or not it pisses you off.) (You, the grammarians, not you*.)
OK, subbed from North Carolina. DeMilo would've been a tough handle for a pianist. Clips by these folks that you might not have known about are for you & your father.
I buy fresh flowers every ten days or so for my house. Have never been drawn to commercial roses (though I do grow them in my garden), because though they may ‘look ok’ they don’t hold up very long. Even with the tried and true method for keeping flowers ‘fresh’, by cutting the stems underwater, (that allows for the capillary action of taking up water through the stem to remain open), then putting them in a container filled with flower food water (these small packets that come with cut flowers), the commercial roses still poop out!
I did notice the roses today when I was at the Home Depot…(12 roses $17.99) They were pretty ho hum if you ask me!
Ugh. Even seeds of truth are not safe with these globalists. Everything becomes poisoned with some kind of toxic manipulation on their watch. The agenda is anti-human. Everything that makes us human and preserves our humanity is bad for the climate (of greed and corruption) and must be destroyed.
My guess is that the chemicals in the sky combined with the sun starvation that they produce can be credited with at least part of the sad decline in red roses. And also the apples, which just aren't the same. I was crushed to discover that the organic Cosmic Crisp apples that were finally fulfilling my apple cravings were from CRISPR technology. I noticed they were looking too perfect and did a quick search. The first red flag was all the praise from major news outlets...
UV reduces mold. Copper uptake improves mold resistance. Maybe the heavy metals sprayed mess with uptake of copper in roses as it does in humans, probably all living creatures?
The farmers use to spray a heap of copper sulphate to control mold on citrus. Which then killed beneficial fungi in soils... Its a fine line to live in balance.
Then the EMF soup we live in encourages mold growth. Ugh.
Hmmm. Interesting thought. Actually, I've heard of a few people recently with copper toxicity, which I never really hear about. I may have to do a little digging. Will circle back if I learn anything...
Very symbolic…inorganic flowers…plastic flowers…fake flowers…plastic flower Lei. Lei is Hawaiian for Garland, Wreath; necklace of flowers, leaves, shells, feathers, given as symbol of affection. Tourist actually buy plastic flower Lei. The birth of Plastic, displacing REAL organic Flowers.
Since flowers are the reproductive organs of plants and they are intent on rendering all natural life sterile and dead, the red rose, being the ultimate symbolic expression of passionate love, is being killed. Made ugly and repugnant. They are likely having fun with this.
Like the Superb Owl Pfizer commercial featuring music by Freddie Mercury who was murdered with Fauci's AZT.
Haven’t noticed the roses (haven’t looked) but have noticed that so-called fresh flowers have no smell anymore. Beautiful bouquets and absolutely no smell. Odd
For you it's roses. For me, it's bread. I haven't had a good slice of bread since all this Covid shit began. Toast it, and it turns to a dry, powdery sponge. Butter doesn't seep into it; just sits on top. And, it doesn't matter where you get the bread. I believe the flour is the problem. Whatever the cause, it's sad. The simple things matter.
I often buy roses for myself- often when I see nice looking flowers in the discount bin I'll buy them rather than to see them go unenjoyed. It's a weird splurge, but flowers always make me feel happy.
it's a great book! And thank you for the idea. It would be a direct parallel to what's happening to the people then, as people are getting sicker with fungal and similar diseases also, it seems
Beautiful piece. While I don't believe the environmental thought terror that has been in vogue for some time now, I love your way to bring these topics to the table.
Our red garden roses in Europe are still quite beautiful. I don't generally shop for roses so I have not noticed a trend.
Well said. Thank you. Yes, much of what is shipped internationally is just nonsense and foolishness. Commerce will revert back to local where it makes sense to do so.
I completely agree with the quality of produce being sub-par compared to the past. I have purchased several onions over the last few years that look beautiful on the outside. I bring them home and cut them open and they are rotten inside. It's insane. (Luckily, I grow most of my own so it's rare that I have to buy produce at the store). I think we need to go back to the way it was when I was a kid. In the winter, we knew there would be a few apples, but lots of oranges and citrus because they were in season then. We didn't expect to have things that were not in season in our area or in a neighboring state to be available. We need to get back to eating things that are in season and not feel like we need every kind of produce known to man available every month of the year every year. Most of the younger generation doesn't realize that we thrived this way for generations. Going back to some of these more traditional ways of eating and procuring what we need would be a boon for all communities, would have less impact on the depleted soils on the earth and would bring communities together again. As for the roses... I'm not sure what's going on there but I'm sure it wouldn't have anything to do with the insane manipulation of the weather, spraying of gawd knows what in our skies, or anything like that. ;-)
What's interesting about the red roses specifically is that there are some other flowers that are fine still, and you can even often find roses of other colors that are fine... but the red ones are very visibly impacted!
Don’t know. Last year the roses growing in our garden were darker than previous years. Something to do with persistent chemtrails?
Persistent chemtrails would be a consideration....

Thank you!!! A true friend points out the typos! And your entire comment is a linguistic masterpiece!
Love this. A red rose of words-no thorns, no marks of brown

Clank your chains and count your chains and try to walk the line...please continue.
Maybe the roses themselves have decided to take on the role of conscientious objectors to a world gone broken?

I did notice the roses today when I was at the Home Depot…(12 roses $17.99) They were pretty ho hum if you ask me!
I cut my flowers before sunrise, and add a few drops of 35% H2O2 in their water in the vase.
Thanks for the tip!
have no problems with the roses I grow in my garden…they last for awhile. It’s the commercially grown roses that don’t last.

Everything sacred is under attack.

What fun!
Thank you Tessa for the roses, where the name comes? one of the answers bellow.
My garden's flowers are just exuberant, I don't buy flowers from the store, so no idea.
Rose is an anagram for Eros (Greek god of love and intimacy)
rosE - Eros
---------------
The Rose upon the roof of Time
Come near, that no more blinded by man’s fate,
I find under the boughs of love and hate,
In all poor foolish things that live a day,
Eternal beauty wandering on her way.
Come near, come near, come near - Ah, leave me still
A little space for the rose-breath to fill!
Yeats
Haven’t noticed the roses (haven’t looked) but have noticed that so-called fresh flowers have no smell anymore. Beautiful bouquets and absolutely no smell. Odd
I was going to say the same thing! Roses and other flowers no longer smell!
An outlawed rose would smell as sweet
And steak from farting cows is bad to eat
But little did we know
The lot would have to go
To drop some scary global phantom heat
That's a beautiful poem, Mark!!

Giving beautiful Roses on Valentines day is a message. The recipients feel Loved. What's so bad about that ?
The Bad Guys don't like people feeling loved.
Nada…if someone I was fond of gave me roses for Valentine’s Day I would be pleased.
I often buy roses for myself- often when I see nice looking flowers in the discount bin I'll buy them rather than to see them go unenjoyed. It's a weird splurge, but flowers always make me feel happy.
I agree that’s why I buy them, also. They make me happy. 💗💐
Thanks for the interesting-looking book recommendation, Tessa.
As for the sad roses, probably 'good old-fashioned' fungal disease - black spot...a problem of declining standards in growing and importing
But I will go and ask the Bees what they think!
it's a great book! And thank you for the idea. It would be a direct parallel to what's happening to the people then, as people are getting sicker with fungal and similar diseases also, it seems

I know! And even the garlic, that is antimicrobial against the bad guys and supportive of the friendly gut bacteria! And yeah...
