I made a typo.

>Not that I have an understanding of Mr. Taylor's character

should have been, NOW that I have an understanding.  My apology.

Abigail, Abigail, Abigail, if Shakespeare wanted roses to be so noted in
1H6, he was incompetent.  He should have done a much better job pointing
out this meaning, if that meaning was intended.  Without giving a single
clue, save the very obscure roses themselves, there is no way to come to
your conclusion, except to read a whole paragraph between the lines.  As
was pointed out previously, just because a word can have multiple
meanings does not mean reading all of them is always warranted.  Don't
forget, it was called the Wars of the Roses for a reason other than the
reason you suggest.

Must tell you my embarrassing orchid story sometime.

Today's Guardian reviews a new play by Steven Berkoff, 'The Secret Love
Life of Ophelia'. In a key moment, it seems that Ophelia advises the
Prince of her desire to ' squeeze thy balls like juicy persimmons'. Why
such a woman later has recourse to mere rosemary for remembrance remains
a mystery.

>Not that I have an understanding of Mr. Taylor's character, I assumed >he would get nasty

This debate has become unseemly, and its not as if it is about anything
of enormous importance.

By the way, Abigail is right: "rose" can only be slang for vulva, not
vagina. The vagina is an internal organ, and the only thing floral about
it is yeast.
