What's happened to the song titles?
Yellow Rose of Texas perhaps?
Red Red Roses...

@grouser: Actually this is a song title. My favourite version by the rolling Stones, though they sing "round and round" as opposed to "around and around". Had it in, then took it out. I found that it was difficult to use titles or lyrics when doing "series" posts, and have stopped since then.

Ah, man - ignore that comment of mine above Rob, I see I typed far too quickly and left out the most important word - NOT. It should say: I agree with Liner , it definitely is NOT just any old rose. It is exquisite!
