Love is much Like a Wild Rose...

"Love is much like a Wild Rose, Beautiful and Calm, but willing to draw blood in it's Defense."
-Mark Overby


The origin of the word “rose” comes from rosa –a Latin word used to describe the same flower. It is interesting to note however that the term rosa was derived from a Persian root word which later on gave rise to the French term julep which means rose water. 

Roses are the high-maintenance princess that are prone to insects and disease. They require regular pampering and perfect weather conditions. Here are just a few diseases Roses are prone to contracting:

1) Botrytis- Fungal infection that attacks leaves and canes, this nasty devil will prevent your buds form opening. 
2) Powdery Mildew-The name says it all, your roses have contracted this if a white powdery residue develops on the petals.
3) Canker- Discolors canes and petals, is caused by dirty pruning tools or other mediums like splashing water.
