Location: Rose Garden Behind Eaton
Time: 1020-1040 hours
Weather: Partly cloudy

When I found that the snapdragons at the Garden behind Collins were still alive, I decided to check out the rose garden behind Eaton. Apparently, roses are significantly more fragile than the snapdragons. Many of the roses have lost their blooms entirely or the plant has simply died. However, the few roses that are still there look wonderful. They are a soft pink color and have the perfect shape and size of a rose. However, the fact that many of the roses have died still reflects little on the state of the world. Roses are fragile plants, and they usually die because of the cold that comes with winter.
