Synopses & Reviews
JACKSON JONES CANT get away from roses. First his mother got him a plot at Rooters, a community garden where Jackson planted a rosebush of thorns and no blooms. Now Mr. K., a fellow gardener, enlists Jacksons help to rustle up some rare old-time roses. The kind that grow in cemeteries! And no sooner do Jackson and his friend Reuben take the rose cutting home than Reubens gloom-and-doom talk of curses seems real.
