Editorial Notes
Daniel Martin
Hello and welcome to the first edition of The Rose Magazine. It is nice to be able to say that. We started work on this magazine back in January 2016 unsure of what kind of reception we would receive. Since then we have had a staggering amount of submissions from writers and a humbling number of subscribers on our website. If you are reading this and fall into either of those categories, I would like to extend our warmest thanks. It really is appreciated.
The Rose was founded to help readers find new writers. It was also founded to help artists to showcase their work to a receptive audience. All works featured in The Rose are included for one simple reason - we thought they were well written and we thought you might do too.
Our first edition features a mix of fiction, poetry and artwork from a host of talented contributors. It should give you a sense of what we are all about - good, new writing presented directly to you as the author intended it. We hope you enjoy what you read and we hope to see you back again for our second edition.

Our Generation
Treasa Nealon
They pull us out of rivers.
They cut us down from trees.
They find us on the sea’s shores,
when the tide brings us back in.
They bury us in silence,
for what is there left to say?
The tears they cry,
will be cried again
by someone else
near the ending
of this
day..

What If
Béibhinn Ní Chaisleáin
What if all across the ages, we fell in love
What if we danced at balls or farmed our modest fields, side by side
What if the glint of your armour held my bashful gaze
Or you peddled past my yard each day, just for a smile
I imagine that our bond could outwit the ticks of time,
That together, we could dodge the pendulum swings,
And renew love each day as the world slowly aged
