The Rose Family
Robert Frost (1874-1963)
T he rose is a rose,And was always a rose.
But the theory now goes
That the apple’s a rose,
And the pear is, and so’s
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose -
But were always a rose.
.
Happy birthday, Julie and many happy returns. I love you.

Peace Rose.
What a lovely poem and a lovely Many Happy returns to Julie.
‘A rose is still a rose by any other name’ is a saying we use all the time.
Nearly fell off the chair – thought where have those two days gone – OK – you fooled me its is Monday.
Have a wonderful birthday celebration, Julie and Claude!
Dear Julie,

Happy Birthday, Julie. I will enjoy your flickr…
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Happy Birthday sweet Julie.
Je souhaite à Julie un très bon anniversaire depuis Kyoto; exotique, non?
As soon as I saw the image of the rose, I immediately thought that I could smell a rose. Very strong powers of suggestion. Yes, Happy Birthday Julie!!
And, Claude, is that a change to the masthead I spy?
Gorgeous photo! And birthday greetings to Julie.
Très belle photo. Bon anniversaire, Julie.
