I'm not doing another thing until I ask,"Fool has a thing for roses?"
I have been researching the use of roses throughout the ROTE books (ever since I began looking into the rose Gankis and Kennit found on the Others' Island ) - see post #68 for a general 'roses' information dump! - so I would be ever so interested to hear what you have found out about them and a connection with Fool, Nightchade!!!
I have a short list already eg rose-scented flannel; Fool's white rose with black stem, given to Garetha as a gift; use of the rose to indicate the changes that occur between Elderlings and dragons etc, so it would be fantastic to compare findings. I'll get to listing mine as soon as I can...better cook dinner for a starving, waiting (getting angry) mob!!
