le rosier
Saturday, April 25, 2009
Please excuse this extra email in your inbox this morning... I hope this photo of a ravishing "roseburst" (taken yesterday, just outside the orthodontist's office in the French town of Orange...) will make up for that!
le rosier (leuh rhoh-zee-ay) noun, masculine
: rose bush, rose tree
