General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

We'll excuse you, this once, Hieronymous.

It's unfortunate you find this a thorny issue, but it is! It all stems from a simple misnomer, where Rose supplanted rose. Was there some plot involved? Should we have been guarding the rose in the rose garden?

Will it help if I second this:

Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.

For a third time even (or should that be odd?):

Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.


Three Rose Leaves

Following the rhetoric law of thricefold repetition to emphasize a point.

Rose is not a Rose, not a Rose, not a Rose.
