native rosa 2

•



Six months down the road, winter rapidly approaching, and we find ourselves much like Baby Suggs in Toni Morrison’s novel “Beloved.” We're already starved for color.

Exactly half a year after my first posting, Carolina rose, a true native rosa, is still producing some reds and yellows when everything else has turned to various shades of brown and gray.

native rosa

“I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty.” *



* From “Nature” published in 1836 by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Photo taken at Ijams Nature Center of a native Carolina rose (Rosa Carolina) also called pasture rose in some books.
