A rose (/ˈroʊz/) is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from Greek ρόδον rhódon (Aeolic βρόδον wródon), itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd- (wurdi), related to Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr.
Derrick Martell Rose (born October 4, 1988) is an American professional basketball player for the Chicago Bulls of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played one year of college basketball for the University of Memphis before being drafted first overall by Chicago in the 2008 NBA draft. Rose became the first guard to be drafted first overall in the NBA draft since Allen Iverson in 1996 and would subsequently win NBA Rookie of the Year. In 2011, Rose was named the NBA Most Valuable Player, becoming the youngest player to win this award at 22 years and 6 months old.
In 2009, an NCAA investigation revealed that Rose's SAT scores had been invalidated, making him retroactively ineligible to play for Memphis. As a result, the NCAA vacated Memphis' entire 2007–08 season.
Rose has struggled with significant knee injuries since his 2010–11 MVP campaign. In the first round of the 2012 NBA Playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers, Rose tore his ACL in his left knee. Rose required surgery and was subsequently sidelined for the entire 2012–13 season. Rose returned to play in 2013–14. However, on November 22, 2013, during a regular season game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Rose injured his right meniscus which caused him to miss the remainder of the season. Rose returned once again the following season, but knee injuries continued to riddle him, causing him to miss 30 games.

Plot: After great tragedy, what would you wish for? Trembling with energy and a kind of hybrid Maori-Pakeha spiritual magic, Nine of Hearts is a short film unlike any other to emerge from New Zealand. Nine of Hearts is about the cards Gen, a Pakeha mother, has already been dealt, and the cards she is choosing to play now. Dealt the 'wishcard' in a tarot reading, Gen must decide what to wish for: a life she feels has been taken from her, or a new life in which old masks are left behind. Drawn forward by her two high-pitched fairy children, Gen must ultimately confront Nola, her teenaged Maori daughter, who has a wisdom beyond her years and a fury at her mother to match.

Plot: After the suicide of a snowboarder friend, his brother, Brandon, takes the depressed Nelson Nagarauk home to their tradition-conscious Inuit family at 69 degrees north. Brandon persuades him to accompany him on a ice-bear hunt, but Nelson changes his mind. On his way back, he finds a half-frozen Russian woman from a nearby weather station. He warms her up, but she seems to be very sick, otherwise. The next day, the woman is taken away by helicopter without a word of thanks. Later, on TV, a different, healthy woman is shown. What really happened? With Nelson's help, the ambitious journalist Virginia Ranks starts an investigation in which Nelson is not only confronted with a military intrigue but also with his traditional roots that he ridiculed before.

You used to like my style
I used to like your smile
I said I'll stay a sec
You said stay a while
You started sippin wine
Said i was on your mind
I said I'm thinkin of you too girl
You're hella fine
We hit the night time
For a late date
And every day after that
For eight months straight
Though we was rolled tight
We had small fights
You should've seen how we argued
Under street lights
I couldn't see your tears
From the pouring rain
You should've seen my body shake
When she said my name
She said I'm not the same
Andre you changed
I said baby it's pain
From the rap game
We went our seperate ways
Man I was hurt for days
Man, I didn't even call
I went through withdrawl
Flashbacks of her face
Hit me sometimes
And I be wondering man
Does she think of mines?
[Chorus]
I think that Rose stuck through the hardest time
Sometimes I put Al Geen on and think of Rose
Being with you is like a state of mind
Girl I'm thinkin about you all the time
[Verse 2]
I saw her at a club
She was with a thug
She thought i would say hi
But i didn't show no love
The homies blazin buds
And now it's gettin live
But I knew that she knew
That I'd protect my pride
I see her watchful eye
From across the joint
And then she knew how I'd feel
If I heard her voice
Now some ladies talked
And other ladies walked
But when it came to you girl
Man there was a spark
Your whole anatomy man
Was like poetry
The very smell of your hair
Was like luxury
It was because of me
When the days were bright
I would come through
With my silent night
