Back when it was purchased
with its buds not yet in bloom
I thought I’d save a picture
of it for the first of June
And now that day has come
and the summertime is here
I’m really pleased I waited
as its beauty is now clear
It’s name too has a purpose
and as the title above goes
We’re really looking forward
to more flowers from this rose
