Rose liked to save the flowers from dying .
Rose enjoys rendering her world with things of great visual delight.

She stands supremely comfortable in herself, resolved and content on her own path – and free from any expectation to be liked or followed. Her stories read like a dream school report, with a quirky twist and streak of Rose’s signature deadpan humour.
