Great picks! (lol) I read I Never Promised You a Rose Garden when I was in high school and it just was so good, that it still stands out in my mind.
It was great!
“Sweet” pick! 🙂
Thanks. 🙂
I love Rose Daughter! Robin McKinley is one of my favorite authors, so I was happy to see that on your list. I’ve also read A Rose for Emily–Faulkner is such a strange guy!

He sure was. Haha.
Rose is a tough one! Great list 🌹
Thanks!
I love how these are all different genres. Great choice for a word:-)
Thanks! I like bouncing around.
Never read any of these but I like the topic 🌹
Thank you. 🙂
I see you have some classic titles in your list. I am trying frantically to read as many classics as I can, making up for lost time.
Oh, that’s awesome! Good for you.
What a fabulous choice, Lydia. And so many wonderful books with rose in the title. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
I’ve heard of a few of these. But haven’t read any. However, I think at one time I was curious about both Jennifer’s and Robin’s! May be two more titles I need to take a look at again. 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting my list today!
You’re welcome.
I loved Rose Daughter. It’s so interesting to compare it to her other BATB retelling, Beauty.
For sure!
Ahhh! I can smell their lovely fragrance! Wonderful list!
Thanks. 🙂
I Never Promised You A Rose Garden is on my TBR!
Nice!
Using the word “Rose” seems like a popular theme this week!! Nice choice.
Yes, for sure!
Nice choice! And I love seeing Rose Daughter on your list — that reminds me that I’m due for a reread!
Fabulous. Enjoy!
Oh, nice choice! Always love a flower in a book title and roses do seem quite popular.
Thank you. 🙂
Good word choice. Name of the Rose!
Thanks!
I only read, of course, A Court of Thorns and Roses and I have heard of The Tea Rose. However, it doesn’t sound like a book for me unfortunately.
No worries!
I love roses! It’s a great word choice for spring.
Thank you. 🙂
Great list! I really enjoyed Rose Daughter and A Rose for Emily. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Thanks! Those were both great books.
Great word choice! These all sound really good.
Thank you. 🙂
We managed to have all different choices too!
Yes, that’s impressive!
I enjoyed The Tea Rose but I really loved The Winter Rose by Jennifer Donnelly! So good!
Glad to hear it. 🙂
I didn’t even think of rose! Great choice!
Thank you. 🙂
I like the sound of I Never Promised You A Rose Garden
It was a good read from what I recall.
Great list! I love William Faulkner and Oscar Wilde. Have a good day!
Thanks. 🙂
Rose Madder and Rose Daughter are two books on my immediate TBR, as soon as I can get to them, by two of my favorite authors! Great choice of word!
Hope you like them!
Great word, Lydia. I have read four of your books (1, 7, and 8) and probably would have found a few more, as well. I love the idea.

Oh, awesome! And you’re welcome.
This is a really interesting list. I’ve read ACOTAR, but most of the others were new to me. Roses are such pretty flowers, and I remember hearing about I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, but never reading it. Just added that to my TBR.
Thank you. Hope you like that one.
