Description
Spent & shattered at last[time to turn into potpourri?]
...I thought I'd end our rose cycle with my favourite rose image in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night"s Dream'[Act II,Sc 1]
...here's Titania[the Queen of the Faeries]in her enchanted bower.......

"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight;
And there the snake throws her enamell'd skin,
Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in:..."

[William Shakespeare]
