Tireless for Veranera


Here's why i will never tire of you: under the scorching sun you give, give, and give. You are not picky with seasons and everyday you make festive. You do not require much maintenance. In fact, you are best left alone. You are self-sufficient with your thorns -- no need to provide you with protection. When you have overstepped your bounds, you don't mind getting pruned even in the most rough-shod manner because you are made of hardy stuff. 

Generous, consistent, simple, beautiful. I don't mind should you come in a big pot in lieu of roses for Valentine's Day.
