If you attack horribly overgrown rose bushes with clippers don't be surprised when they attack you back!

2. these beasts hadn't been tended to in about 10 years |
|
and the thorns that got me were about an inch long. four GOOD scratches down the left leg (i backed into one of the stub branches i left on bush number two). bled really nicely...looked like i had been attacked by Freddy Kruger!

3. I was once told that roses like blood, helps cut roses stay "fresh" longer. |

When I was about 2 years old, I fell into a rose bush. I still have a scar on my cheek from those vampires.

I love roses...but these things were(are) out of control. And to top it off...now they have tasted blood...that can't be good!
