Luxemburg focused on activism, believing that socialism would bring justice and true freedom. She also was passionate about nature and art, and expressed joy in life itself.Finney, Lewis (28 July 2022). "Red Rose to premiere at Bolton's The Light Cinema". The Bolton News . Retrieved 10 August 2022. Kate Evans’ striking pairing of word and image to tell Luxemburg’s story is so perfect that it seems surprising that no one has thought of it before. Sophie Mayer, The F Word Rochelle doesn’t want to kiss Noah, because her mate Wren, Noah’s girlfriend, will go postal. Nonetheless, she does – and she does. (It doesn’t seem to occur to Rochelle, Wren or the scriptwriter that anyone who would tease a mate for using a food bank is no mate at all, but still.) Red roses can be used in a variety of garden types, from cottage garden to formal, on their own or with perennials and shrubs, in soil, in pots and containers and even window boxes,” shares Colin Skelly, a Master Horticulturist.

In 1918, after the war destroyed Europe and millions of innocent working class men died because upper class warmongers incinerated their souls to fuel their war industry, Germany erupted into revolution. Rosa refused to play it safe, and she started a newspaper, Die Rote Fahne, and fought constantly to sway public opinion towards revolution. After the new "social democratic" president was placed in power by the defeated German military, her former party turned on her. She was brutally murdered by militiamen, her corpse thrown into the Landwehr Canal in Berlin. I admire it as an artist. I admire it as a writer. A huge achievement.

Vassell, Nicole (15 August 2022). "Red Rose review: A so-so, occasionally sinister horror about social media". The Independent . Retrieved 15 August 2022. A charming biography with some lovely artwork. It takes awhile to get going, and feels slightly imbalanced (occasional narratorial intrusions or jumps in time are not unpleasant but they do seem somewhat arbitrarily scattered), but when at its peak, it is quite touching and beautifully conveys a sense of Luxemburg's personality. I especially loved the various nude scenes, hairy legs and all -- a really excellent example of how graphic novels can portray a woman's body in a way that feels intimate without being objectifying or prurient. Kate Evans deserves our gratitude for telling the tragic tale of this early twentieth-century revolutionary.

My last criticism would be that the art is not 100 % my style. I think if I'd been sold on the drawings completely, this would have been a 5 star book despite the other flaws I mentioned. As it stands it's a fairly well-drawn and interesting overview of her life.Always opposed to the First World War, when others on the German left were swept up on a tide of nationalism, she was imprisoned and murdered in 1919 fighting for a revolution she knew to be doomed. Rambling roses have sturdy, arching stems and are vigorous plants which can work extremely well when trained to cover a large pergola, wall or other sturdy structure. Rosa Luxemburg, 1871-1919, was an economist who wrote her doctoral dissertation on Polish industrialization. She was a Marxist theorist, a philosopher, and a revolutionary socialist of Polish-Jewish descent. She became a German citizen and was murdered there by opponents of the revolution she never gave up on. She was a woman of passion, having written many emotional and insightful essays, letters, tracts, and there were also many lovers in her short and full 47 years. She was a member of the Communist Party who troubled Lenin and Trotsky and the Russian Revolution with serious critique. She was one wild woman who made politics and economic justice come alive as possibility. This is a fairly introductionary graphic novel biography of Rosa Luxemburg. I didn't know much about her love life before reading this, but those parts were the ones I found the least well-done actually. There's other ways to describe a love life than through the same sex scenes each time. Lieb's sehr, wenn Bücher mir etwas beibringen, was ich in der Schule nie gelernt oder verstanden habe. Hier war es zum Beispiel, warum das vor dem 1. WK alle so gestört hat, dass "der eine Typ" da erschossen wird, wieso Rosa Luxemburg sterben musste und was Marx mit "Das Kapital" sagen wollte.

It is important to think not only about the colour of your roses but also their form and growth habit, and the conditions that they like.A stirring and beautiful book … Red Rosa is of more than biographical or aesthetic interest as an introduction to Rosa Luxembourg’s ideas.
