Dedicated to Her Royal Majesty, Queen Kallista Morgunova III, Her Royal Highness, Princess Grainne Shionnach, and the Companions of the Order of the Rose, Queen's Rapier Championship, 13 December a.s. LIX The Everbearing Rose of Æthelmearc Knowest thou of the Everbearing Rose, Her roots entwined in honour, deep and wide? From ancient soils radiant beauty grows, Each petal shap'd by strength that cannot hide.  🌹 No frost can wither her vine's firm embrace, For splendour springs forth with each noble name.  The Rose renews Her legacy of grace, Each Bloom unique, yet evermore the same. 🌹 So let us ne'er forget what hath She gave: Not just The Crown, but how She bore its weight. She uplifts the weak and inspires the brave, Eternal Rose of Æthelmearc the Great ! - Brother Valentine Garnett
