What popular expression is represented by this rebus?

rose = rose = rose!

Answer:

A rose is a rose is a rose!

The meaning most often attributed to this is notion that when all is said and done, a thing is what it is. The line is from Gertrude Stein's poem Sacred Emily, written in 1913 and published in 1922, in 'Geography and Plays'. The verbatim line is actually, 'Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose'.

Some of your teasers could be considered *too easy* if you have ever heard of these *cache* sayings....LOL 8) Still in all, a very entertaining teaser, since I have not entered any teasers, yet!

EZ. I even knew about the 4th Rose. (The one with no A.) I miss the 1's, but then I guess _ does what _ can.

Testing- Will special character chart true so I can write that my friend Red is not a Communist as "Red ≠ 1 Red."
