Where the Wild Roses Grow (2015)

by Willow Rose
(#10 in Emma Frost)

With her blankly staring eyes seeming to gaze into the sky, he put a red rose between her teeth and then gently pushed her into the water. She slowly sank into the slow, flowing river. No one ever found her body, and as the years passed, her real name could not be remembered, so she was called The Wild Rose.

The Wild Rose is an old Irish tale of a man courting a woman and killing her while they are out together. It’s what inspired the song by Nick Cave and now also a killer in Enniskerry, Ireland.
