The Life Cycle of a Rose

A rose bud is getting ready to bloom, analogous to a junior rabbit getting ready to go on the show table.   

The rose is in prime, it's like a young senior ready to take on the show world.

A rose in full bloom, like a BIS rabbit!

A rose over the top prime, like a senior Angora hanging on to the coat but no longer fresh.

The rose is barely hanging on, does that sound like an Angora getting ready for a haircut?
