Public Announcement

DO NOT TOUCH THE ROSES

If you are the one of many people that has been picking these roses on the grounds of the owner, please stop immediately.

This Is Private Property

The Roses are :

For beauty......

For fragrance.......

For admiring............

However, if you are snipping the roses off, and taking them home....

PLEASE STOP IMMEDIATELY

If you are of the Canine Persuasion- This is for stray canines

I Am Talking To You

Please don't lift your leg on the rosebush, or the roses, for that matter. If you are a female canine, please don't squat next to the rosebush.

Your urine, kills the bush, and it kills the beautiful flowers.

If You Are a Canine Walking on a Leash

You have an owner, and I would appreciate the owner not to letting his or her dog to desecrate this beautiful bush.

It may have started out, with Rosebuds...

However, it turned into something, more beautiful than words. You might say it has the "Wow", factor.

So leave the "ROSES" on the bush, for everyone to enjoy their beauty and their aroma.

Signed...

The Owner of the Rosebush
