Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

The name of the rose*

I have no idea what variety this rose is, but as the bard said:

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Will Shakespeare. English dramatist. 1564-1616.

* Il Nome Della Rosa, The Name of the Rose, was the first novel written by the Italian author Umberto Eco. It is a historical murder mystery set in an Italian monastery in the year 1327.
