Wow. I have never heard of this AZ wonder. I would love to see it. But, you know, I think there may be one of these Lady Banks yellow rose vines here in our park. I am going out to take a picture of it today and send it to you, to see if you agree. Thank you, Sue, for always improving my education!
We''ve both traveled to so many places, different directions for both of us, that there's lots to learn from each other. I always get a new perspective from your stories. I see the scenery and the people in your travel pieces. And your Metro stories always have some little romance or drama unfolding among the benches. Thank you. I'm glad you're one of my Substack pals.
Guess it wasn't meant to be, but a good effort and lots of care and love don't always succeed. Still, the story of the Rose is, in ways, profound to me. I totally loved it. Being of Scottish descent, I, too, feel the rugged in me accompanied by the love of lakes and pathways across hills. I especially enjoyed the details in this piece, the desert, Tombstone, places I've not been. Arizona. I've traveled the world but less so the USA, minus fast drives from shore to shore. Brought to Manhattan as a child, abandoned, and in ways free to grow in every which way, and to suffer, too, I related to the transplant, that dared to live and take up more than space, to be worthwhile. Thanks always, Sue, for your fine writing. Constance
I'm glad you enjoyed this story. There are so many mysteries in the desert, at always amazes me to find something like this that defies the odds. And thank you for finding deeper meanings and resonances here.

Nice story. Brings back memories of Tombstone. Love the persistence of this rose.
