a rose by any other name

 
La rosa!
We have a variety of roses in our giardino (garden), many of which were here when we bought la casa (the house). I have a bit of il sogno (a dream) to turn much of the yard to food production, and we've added quite a few fruit trees (including several olivo - olive trees, limone e arancia - lemon and orange trees, and others) to the established pera (pear), and mela (apple) trees. 

But whatever we do, la rosa will stay:
Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses!
