   Summary

   To grow and flourish, a rose requires well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter, and needs 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. However, in harsher, hotter climates, roses do best when they are protected from the hot afternoon sun.

   Jon Bon Jovi is the rose in Richie Sambora's eye, taking whatever chances he can to make him flourish, grow, and not burn in the sun.

   (or, two gay cowboys who can't accept their love for one another.)
