A rose bush just attacked me!

[Padraig18]

As I was going around the corner of the house, it leaped out and smacked me across the face! Well, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it, any way...

:P

1. They can be very spiteful bastards, rosebushes

Protective gear is helpful when getting anywhere close to them.

[Padraig18]

This one is especially vicious.

It pretends to be a beautiful, innocent rose bush, But I know better; in its roots, it's a killer...

;)

[redqueen]

6. Oh they're all beautiful... but they're treacherous!

However, they really have to be, don't they? I mean... we're always cutting them up and hacking their beautiful blooms off... I can never blame my lovely Midas Touch for its horribly large thorns. I just use long gloves. :)

2. They're notorious for that.

SKip's mom has one that does that too her everytime she gets near it. And my mom has a huge rose bush that whenever she gets near it she gets a mysterious cut on her face. They're bastards.

3. Probably a Freeper Rosebush. Check you Internet access to see if

it's getting on-line. Also look for Porn for Perennials sites.

5. I bet it watched bulb porn!

It's envious of the day lilies, I know...

;)

[Shoeempress]

20. Those day lilies are such swingers.

[Padraig18]

21. Shameless hussies, they are!

Bright yellow, and all!

;)

4. The Day of the Triffids>>>>

plants sometimes do seem to have a malevolent streak. They are relentless. Just look at any untended yard, or the Mayan ruins, which the jungle devastates.

7. Was it a mean,

red, spiteful one? My red one is a real study in passive aggression.

[Padraig18]

8. A BLOOD-RED one, appropriately enough!

It's an EVIL bastard--- it's attacked Tony before, too.

;)

[MuseRider]

9. Hack it off!

Just kidding...but you might threaten it. Whack a weed close by and be certain that it is watching, that sometimes helps but those smart ones you never know. Do it slowly.

[Padraig18]

12. I threatened to let Brody pee on it!

That usually keeps it in line for a few weeks...

:P

[MuseRider]

14. That is a plan!

Just be certain it doesn't get cute little (HA) Brody. Revenge of the plants, the Shrubs have been converting them you know.

10. you just need a sweet pink Queen Ellizabeth, Padraig

they don't do that. :)

[Padraig18]

13. Queen Elizabeth??????

you'd suggest that an Irish lad own a rose bush named THAT?

:P

[tigereye]

18. you know I thought of that after I hit the post button

but it is a beautiful rose and very hardy.

sorry. :)

yeah you need a Yeats rose. (is there such a thing?) Or Cuchullan. Etc.

I'm Irish, too, but not as Irish as you.

[PopSixSquish]

11. Well the Ivy Outside My Townhouse Trips Me All the Time

especially when I'm taking out the garbage. Sneaky bastards.

[Downtown Hound]

15. Well, maybe you deserved it...

For what I don't know. But did you ever stop to think about that?

:P

[Padraig18]

19. Nah.

I lavish care on it, buy it expensive food, protect it from predators with sprays and chicken wire, etc. . Why would it hate me so?

;)

[calico1]

16. It hates you because of your freedom!

[Padraig18]

17. It's an Islamist rose bush???

I hand't considered that!

:P

[Paradise]

22. lol! :) n/t

[Cleita]

23. Did she leave her perfume all over you?

How will you explain that?
