I find the neighbor’s Rose “tree” even more impressive.

The Oz “Rosie”….well, I honestly don’t have a more preferred EDC folder. These things seem to change w/ the season.

EDIT : I stand corrected. According to my wonderful mother, the neighbor’s tree is a Camellia, not a rose. That wonderful lady has been settin’ me straight for 55 years now !

Looks like I need to start hunting for a Camellia knife, not a Rosie.
