Roses are Red....

Advantages: Beautiful flowers, wonderful variety
Disadvantages: Take a lot of care

...that you will never be short of a plant. You will be able to find a species of rose that will be suitable for any part of the garden. With this in mind, you will be able to create areas of peaceful tranquilism, and other areas boasting massive informality. Roses are one of the few species of plant that are extremely adaptable. They are capable of growing in almost any part of the world. The best roses are always to be found in warm, temperate areas, although there are a few that have adapted to grow well in very cold or subtropical areas. If you live in an area with a generally hot climate, they will flower all year round. ----------------------------- Choosing Roses ----------------------------- I think the amazing thing about roses is the shear number of varieties available. Each year, more and more different cultivars are being...

Review of Roses

Not quite a bunch of roses : Cadbury's Roses

Advantages: Nice chocolate, a couple of good fillings
Disadvantages: Lack of variety of fillings, lots of old flavours are now missing

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was feeling a bit sorry for myself the other day (no specific reason why - just one of those days), and when in that frame of mind, there is only one thing which can ride me through until a better mood is upon me.......chocolate! While in Morrisons, I looked all through the usual offerings of things like Kit-Kats, Bounty Bars, Maltesers etc., but none of them seemed to appeal to me. Then, my eyes rested on a wire trolley-load of boxes of Cadbury's Roses, on special offer, at £1.99. My eyes kind of lit up, my spirits lifted slightly, and I dumped one of the boxes in my trolley. I actually forgot I'd bought them until I got home and unpacked the shopping. Now, I don't trust myself with this amount of chocolates, especially if I'm using them as comfort food, as I can be in danger of eating the whole box all at once - so, I divided...

Review of Cadbury Roses

Why are they called Roses?

Advantages: Lovely cadbury chocolate
Disadvantages: Centres not as good as they used to be.

...Before Christmas several shops had offers for tins of chocolates and I bought a big tin of Cadbury Roses. We are still digging into them but I have sampled them all, even the ones I dislike! My tin contained 1.05kg, I do wish I had counted how many chocolates were in the tin, but on second thoughts I don't want to know how many we have consumed although they have been shared with friends and family! Best before date is April 2009, I was surprised to see the contents are stamped on the base although different chocolates could be replaced if necessary. There is information on the makers Cadbury Trebor Bassett and contact details, if you need to complain. Although it does say there could be a white bloom if the chocolates have been left in the sun or exposed to heat, which is harmless. There is a list of ingredients and a note that Soya...

Review of Cadbury Roses

Do you prefer daisies or roses?

Advantages: Versatility, great flavours, high quality
Disadvantages: No strong smell

...and bread she came back with a little treat for each of us- just a small one. My mum, knowing me, oh so well, decided the perfect thing to get me would be something that would only see the face of the earth for a very short time, before being demolished. She handed me a carrier bag and I peered my nose in, excited about what I was going to find. Mmmmm thanks mum! I pulled out the thing secreted inside the carrier bag and I was thrilled with my mums choice. I hadnt had these in ages; Cadburys roses. I remember the last time I had, had them was at my good friends sleepover and we'd played a game like cards to see who won the most, I had one quite a few and I had remembered being extremely happy and had enjoyed most of them. I kissed my mum thankyou and off i trotted upstairs into my room to begin tucking into my new treat. The box...

Rose Fantastique

Advantages: Great quality, innovative - great shades available
Disadvantages: This shade is not easy to get your hands on,

...that the lid will fit onto the end of the pencil, you can put it there while you're applying the liner to be sure you don't lose it. When placed on a flat surface, the pencil won't roll around too much, which is also a plus. Size-wise, I have seen longer eye-liners, such as the Urban Decay ones, but this eye-liner is the typical sort of length. I'm afraid I don't have a ruler to measure, needless to say that it will fit into the inside pocket of most of my handbags. With regards to information on the packaging, you won't find the ingredients on the eye-liner itself. For this, you'll need to look in the booklet that you'll find at Bourjois make-up stands. Thankfully, I don't need to pay too much attention to ingredients used in my make-up, but for those with allergies, or wishing to avoid certain ingredients, this is a slight inconvenience...

Review of Bourjois Khol & Contour Eyeliner Pencil 08 Rose Fantaisiste

Purple Roses (!)

Advantages: Wonderful tale of cinematic fantasy
Disadvantages: None

...by ~ Woody Allen ~~~~~~~ Overview ~~~~~~~ I would agree with the overview on the reverse of the DVD, which states that the film is one of the best movies about the movies ever made. It continues, "?Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo slips through the looking glass of comic fable about life, love, illusion and hope." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The film & Comment ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The film, is quite simply a masterpiece, and a typical example of the escapism and fantasy many of us long for and look for outside and beyond the somewhat and often typical mundane ness of our every day lives, whether it be looking after the kids, working in an office, or even playing Premiership football!! Books and films in particular, are two areas that allow us to escape into another world and concentrate on something else entirely for either a few...

Review of The Purple Rose Of Cairo (DVD)

A rose on the rockery.

Advantages: Good for a rockery and excellent for wild life .
Disadvantages: none

...like. Like the single simple roses. Rockrose flowers are white, pink or a rosy purple colour some have yellow or dark blotches on the flower. . The flowers are bright and radiant. They have 5 petals. The rock rose flowers a long time from spring to midsummer then they often have a second flowering in late summer. This shrub is a twiggy shrub it is an evergreen perennial. The rockrose will grow to just over a meter tall and a meter wide. The rockrose is very easy to look after and will last many years. The rock rose is frost hardy. Now let me talk mostly about the rockrose Helianthemum nummularium. This is a wild plant grows only to about 12 inches. The colours are yellow. One has bright yellow petals and an orange colouring at the base of each petal which makes it look pretty. There is a rose coloured one too. . This plant can...

Review of Rock Rose

Roses, Roses Everywhere!

Advantages: Traditional Christmas Chocolates
Disadvantages: There are none left by New Year

...The time for celebrating the birth of Jesus is approaching and for some reason, I know not why, we seem to eat more chocolate at this time of year than any other. Go round any supermarket at this time and there are random heaps of tins in all corners, they are on special offer, or two for one offers, or just there, but you can't miss them. Our favourite and the most traditional that we can remember are Cadburys Roses. When the children were little my parents always bought us a tin for Christmas and we opened it on Christmas Eve, there was nothing left in the tin by new years eve but by then we had had enough chocolates to last us most of January. My birthday falls in the second half of January anyway so by the time we got the fancy for chocolate back I usually got some which we could share. Now, over the years we have seen...

Review of Cadbury Roses

ROSE RED 2002

Advantages: Creepy, Large, Mysterious and a story that must be told.
Disadvantages: It was rather long!

...SYNOPSIS = Dr. Joyce Reardon, a psychology professor, leads a team of six psychics into an isolated mansion known as Rose Red. Her efforts resurrected the spirit of former owner Ellen Rimbauer and soon, the discovery of the horrifying secrets of those who lived and died there. Never be alone, as the house is forever changing and growing. An exit may be there for one minute and the next minute may be gone... REVIEW = As much of a horror film fan, I am not always keen on Stephen King's materials. I often find them too slow and the ending seems to be weak at times. However, I thought I will give 'Rose Red' a try as I love movies about haunting houses (being a big fan of 'Most Haunted'). The duration of the film was approximately 4 hours long. As I was so gripped by the movie, I watch it all at once and it did not felt it was...

Review of Rose Red (DVD)

Audrey Rose: Is she or isn't she?

Advantages: Very watchable, interesting storyline, quite scary in parts
Disadvantages: Rather dated, a little stilted acting here & there

...been on TV, possibly in the early 1980s, and at the time it affected me quite powerfully. I subsequently read the novel, and was fascinated by it. Though through the years I often thought about Audrey Rose as a movie, I never actually saw it again until I was cruising through YouTube one night, and I discovered that somebody had uploaded the film in twelve sections. I sat and watched it right through (though there is a 10 minute chunk missing because the managers of YouTube have deleted one of the twelve sections, but its removal doesn't really spoil the whole effect), and was surprised that I still, to this day, find Audrey Rose.....not scarey exactly.....perhaps slightly disturbing would be a better way of describing it. Inside of my 21st century mind, I found myself analysing (just a little!) the film as I was watching it recently...
