It's not the last rose of summer, and I hope it's not the last rose from this bush that my mother planted many years ago. It hadn't had any care for a long time -- covered with other vegetation -- until I moved it four or five years ago. After that, I confess it hasn't had the care it deserves, but it's hanging on. Ruth isn't sure it can be saved, but I'm unwilling to let it go.
We'll see what happens.
