Last Rose of Summer, 12 x 16 inches
Last Rose of Summer
As the season slowed down this past autumn, my Queen Elizabeth rose bush gave me that last robust bloom. And when I was thinking about this flower and how it was special, I came upon this poem...
"'Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone." - Thomas Moore, The Last Rose of Summer, 1830
