Overall, Poetry Blossomed from a Rose Core is a good read for anyone whose life is filled with colorful stories of growing up, and has had things to overcome, but has managed to pull it all together by acknowledging that everyday is another lesson to be learned.
One Single Rose . . . Poetry Blossomed from a Rose Core links in big ideas and life lesson-type messages that will probably always be relevant.

One Single Rose—finally, “a breath of keeping it real fresh air.” In this extraordinary book of poetry, Rosemarie Wilson has left no stone unturned. She has touched on every pressure point known to women from abuse, heartbreak, soul searching, insecurities, family, death and marriage. Rose is a prolific, dynamic and profound writer. Her passages are phenomenal, creative, emotional, witty and enlightening. I enjoyed my journey through the life of One Single Rose and I’m sure you will too.

Ms. Wilson's poems are witty, laugh out loud funny and damp-hankie poignant. Extraordinarily expressive and wonderfully creative, her work is a lovely and welcome addition to the world of poetry. I look forward to reading her next body of work!

One Single Rose was great, fantastic! I had high expectations as I had read your poetry before and was impressed, but this book exceeded my already high expectations. Please keep doing what you do as the community needs you. Your poems are going to touch people and make a difference in their lives.

This weekend I sat down and ready your book from cover to cover. It was an incredible experience!!!! You have really shared your life's experiences -- and I know it will benefit so many women who read it! My favorite poems are: Change, Don't let Anything or Anyone Steal Your Joy and Can't = Won't. These three really spoke to my heart!!! I will be reading them again and again. I simply loved them. Your ability to share your experiences in such an open, loving way is truly a gift from God and a blessing to others. It got me to thinking that each and every one of us is blessed with "special" gifts but so many either (i) haven't even discovered what their gifts are; or (ii) haven't taken the time to develop them! So, thank you again for the book and kudos to you for the courage, and perseverance to make your "vision" happen through hard work!
