The life of a rose

Hello and welcome to the life of a rose... Now we have hailed from near and far and have found a rose that... well, actually it was just near and this rose...it lives on my porch... but not for long. This is the first picture of the rose. I appologize that I missed it's birth, but you can imagine it was a bud and it was yellow. Enough said. Take note of the slight coloration on the rose tips on the outside. Also note that this picture was taken on Friday at 12:14 pm.
This rose is off the very same rose bush... in fact it is the very same rose... and the picture was taken the very same day at 7:06 pm. It amazes me to see how the sun affects this flower. In a matter of hours the rose gets a little sunburn. Maybe I should apply sunscreen. Now the rose has lived out it's beautiful life. As an older rose it will say to the buds, "Now in my day I was a real looker. I was the kind of rose that would have been exchanged between lovers." Saddly this rose will soon be cut off to save nourishment for the young and growing buds.
Now you are saying there is no way that the rose came back to life... your right it didn't. I just really liked this rose too. So I took a picture. Children often say, "Take a picture it will last longer." Maybe they are right!
