Speckled Roses Novels & Stories

Instead, her hands stayed on her face, caressing and nibbing. ‘How did she get to this? She remembered insulting the man in white at the burial ceremony of her best friend. His beauty hypnotized her at first. His prominent cheekbones and chiseled jaw had trapped her eyes in them. His silver glistening eyes devoured her own eyes, making it hard to look away.’

"I'll appreciate it if you can stop flirting with this incompetent bastard and go to the garden to fetch me some swiss chard. I know for a fact that Alpha Alexios grows those." I got to it immediately. The garden was behind the mansion. It was relatively easy for me to find. The garden stood in a near distance behind a pickled white fence. It was always a shade brighter than anything of color that existed around the house. The buttercups were gold and the rose bushes bled a pale but beautiful pink. The roses were what unfortunately caught my attention. They were a different color from anything I had ever seen and having grown up with a mother who was obsessed with flowers, I knew I could not

The aroma of the roses permeated the whole place—it was obvious that the roses were of a precious variety. “Looks like we have something fun to watch tonight!”

Jace mutters, smiling. Now, I’m not sure if I am able to stop the blush from breaking all over my face. “M-Maybe… anemones? I like how their dark centers contrast with the petals. And oh—spray roses, too! They’re small but delicate, and I think they’d look nice mixed in. Uh… What else? Maybe some wax flowers for texture… and a little eucalyptus, just for greenery.” Reed pinches his lower lip as if trying to stifle a smile. I blush harder. Did I overdo it?

She still felt somewhat worried. In the Turner family garden, vast stretches of red roses were in full bloom. Due to special cultivation techniques, these roses grew like they were on trees. There was a small path between each tree, and as people walked through, the faint fragrance of the flowers would stick to them, leaving them in a relaxed and peaceful mood.

Next to it are two smaller bushes that look like they’re just rooted enough to bloom. One has blooms with deep red petals that verge on a plum. They’re larger than the Earl Gray roses, but it’s difficult to look away from how unusual they are. The other is a white with a hint of blush coloring in the center. Those roses are smaller, with ruffled edges. I look at the plaque on the ground in front of them. ‘Their parents, Bronx and Iokaste Mason dedicate these rose bushes to Maya and Andreas.’ “Oh, Bronx! You had rose bushes dedicated to the kids?” I feel tears prick the corners of my eyes.

Sean said before he made a rose appear seemingly from thin air, “A beautiful rose for the even more beautiful Claudia.” At those words Claudia’s expression darkened and she stood up causing her black gown to swirl around her matching the stormy look in her eyes. “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” he said while wondering why Claudia wasn’t teasing him about being corny like she normally would. At that Claudia looked at him and took the rose from his hand but said as she pricked her finger with a thorn, “Yes, a rose is beautiful, but it is dangerous due to its thorns. Like the rose, I may be beautiful, but I am a predator of the night. A monster wrapped in a pretty skin.” As she finish

There were red, crimson, pink, white and orange. While looking around, Kylie briefly explained the flowers Celine pointed out. "The most fragrant rose is this one, the Princess Rose," she said, touching a dark red rose. "Hey, there are names, anyway?" Celine asked, surprised. "There are many, this white one is called Great White Rose, and the pink one is called Pertiwi Rose." "The red one is also a different name?" Celine approached a pot whose roses were about to bloom. She had never seen orange-coloured ones like that before. She thought it wasn't even a rose.

Sam rambled on and then drank juice to stop what non-smooth thing she might say next. " I really like the flowers. I didn't even know roses came in those kinds of colours." Katie said unable to stop smiling. " The red and white ones in the center mean unity. The dark pink ones mean gratitude. The yellow with red tips mean ' I want to get to know you". The violet ones mean Royalty and the lilac are for romance." Sam said very proud of the thought that had gone into buying the bouquet. She wasn't going to mention that some of the roses also meant 'love at first sight' and 'falling in love'.

And then walked towards that place. I found this place when I first moved here. It always calmed me down. I had a tiring and exhausting day that day. I just needed some peace and quiet, alone time. I kept on walking, didn't know where but then I found this place. It has been there for me since then. The stairs led up to a beautiful place over there having wild roses grown on it. And the interesting part was these roses were almost all red in colour. As wild roses mostly are pink coloured but here mostly were red in colour with a few whites among them.
