I had a rose bush against the adjoining fence, the rose bush naturally grew in and out of the fence taller and taller, blooming year after year. The beautiful sweet scent caught you as you walked past. Weeds grew to the size of trees behind the fence and I could no longer keep up with the dense growth.
Two weeks ago my neighbor had everything removed professionally, my rose bush became a stump.
Today I already saw at least ten, two inch healthy sprouts shooting out from the flat, seeming lifeless stumps that remained.
I thought, I am that bush.
I am a rose!
