“That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet.”
– William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

The words of Shakespeare are often misquoted, and we can blame Captain Kirk for popularising this misquote: “A rose but any other name smells just as sweet”.
Over to you now.

Having watched the National’s modern Romeo & Juliet last week I was up to date with the quote and it reminded me again of the marvellous performances I saw. Lovely images of my favourite flower.
