It’s not just a flower. It’s a kiftsgate rose. I guess, at first glance, any layman would think it’s some kind of basic flower. You know the kind that kids draw? With a yellow circle for a center, then five lopsided petals around it in the same design as a star? One at top, two at the side, and two at the bottom? That’s what kiftsgate roses look like. They’re persistent little monsters known as a climbing rose because they can climb arbors and gazebos. Most of the flowers grow in bunches, creating wicked barriers made all the more nasty because of their pointed thorns.
