A Rose Is A Rose Is ......

 I feel like the New York Times. Correction: it was incorrectly reported the first surgery on GG's knee was for her ACL. It was a repair of her ruptured patella tendon.  The ACL surgery was apparently a piece of cake.  And as I recall it was in comparison.  GG worked the day after her ACL surgery.....albeit rather groggily.

 That said, we have gone carnation crazy at the shop.  You'd think I'd try to keep that quiet but no, not me.  Shouting it from the rooftops I am.  Customers come in, pause and say, I thought you didn't carry carnations.  Come on lady, take a gander.  Here's a fully blasted open garden rose all ruffly and damask scented.

Beautiful, no?

And here's a few of our new carnations from Holland.  All ruffly and smelling of spices.

 Beautiful, no?  If you didn't know what they were wouldn't you find them desirable?

A carnation by any other name would be -----?
