In Red Rose, Elizabeth Quandt reminds us that beauty is often accompanied by pain and that beauty can often blind us to danger. Every rose lover knows the risks of the thorns when snipping for a bouquet or punning for the dormant season. Gardeners easily forgive the thorns as they delight in the physical beauty of the rose and their desire to sample its fragrance.
