The last rose of summer.
Tiny in size.
Deep crimson, the color.
Intoxicating fragrance.
A little piece of my heart at the end of a stem.
Beauty emerging from the thorns.


Welcome!
The last rose of summer.
Tiny in size.
Deep crimson, the color.
Intoxicating fragrance.
A little piece of my heart at the end of a stem.
Beauty emerging from the thorns.
