Chuck (pictured, right) didn't mind sharing his rose with the neighbors, but the big guy just wouldn't quit pushing . . .

When Rose-Twyla (pictured) told her mother she was going to legally change her name, her mom responded, "What are you going to call yourself, Hydrangea? Don't forget," she said, "A rose by any other name . . ."
Early Bloomer
All of the young ones had worried that they might be “Late Bloomers” and miss all the fun, but Zoe (red) was quite pleased with how timing had worked out for her . . .
Bed of Roses
Ginny had been looking for one of the new Sleep Number beds but had to settle for a bed of (Cherokee) roses . . .

Culturally it was probably unavoidable; her parents saw no other possibility of calling her anything else but Rose. If only they had broadened their horizons just a little and thought of Sue, Lily, Gwendolyn, even Twyla Jane, life would have been better . . . . David, Sf.G.
All You Can Eat
Karen had a love/hate relationship with the “All You Can Eat” places; at the time it seemed to be such a good deal, and she could eat a lot, really get her money’s worth. The next morning, though, she always felt bloated and sluggish, not to mention dealing with a fair dose of guilt, and besides the food being lukewarm and mediocre on a good day, who knew what the person in line ahead of you may have left in the sweet and sour chicken? . . . .
