"No rose without a thorn but many a thorn without a rose"
– Arthur Schopenhauer

Rules

• Only 1 post per person, any more and all of your posts will be disallowed.
• No duplicates allowed.
• If duplicate stems are posted or an edit results in a duplicate, the most recent posted or edited one will be disallowed.
• You may post a comment afterwards, but to be valid, your post must begin with the number of your stem.
• The game ends when all the stems have been claimed or 24 hours have passed since the beginning of the round.
• The stems will be randomly generated by two different members at the end of each round.

Rewards

• One grand prize winner will receive a glorious Climber Rose Bush worth 100 WRZ$.
• The second winner will receive a stunning Long Stem Roses Bouquet worth 50 WRZ$.
• And two additional winners will receive a single, exquisite Tea Rose worth 30 WRZ$ each.

“But he, that dares not grasp the thorn;
Should never crave the rose.”
– Anne Bronte
