There are plenty of roses, wilted, but still red.  A large statue of a beautiful woman stands in the middle, ivy growing around her.  She seems very kind in her expression.  It seems as though she may be buried underneath.  There is an overgrown mess of plants that form an archway that she is staring at.

I am a gardener who loves harvesting tomatoes. I am in love with my friend Alice. I may someday get a job with the king.

It seems that there are no roses here without wilt. to the untrained eye maybe, these are wilting roses, they bloom up once picked, its a defense mechanism Ah.
