This was so beautiful, Kate. We have those beach roses in West Seattle too and am I entirely obsessed with them.

I love your mini essay, Kate! I know that feeling, and reading about your experiences with it made me feel it again. Like a meta-experience. I also know now that the roses in the dunes in front of my house are actually Rosa rugosa, and not Rosa canina as I previously thought :)

Yes please, more like it. I live on an island in the Pacific Northwest. If I didn't live here, I'd probably be in Maine. We have beach roses here too. Apparently they are invasive in the US. But then, aren't we all?
