Roses

No, this is not a fruit-bearing rose bush. This is where our raspberry plants have grown into where our rose bushes are. The raspberry plants are winning. The roses are surviving, barely.  
It seems ironic that raspberry plants have thorns, because this photo reminds me of the parable of the farmer who sowed seeds on different types of soil. “Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.” (Luke 8:7) How hard it is to keep the thorns out of our lives!
