Mama Harper would love to win the Crystal Thorn Rose Award given by the local horticultural society in town. The roses in this episode have names by dainty Bess and something else. Mama Harper gets help and advice from the dozen time winner of the Crystal Thorn Award, May June Beasley, who is banned from ever competing. May June was quite a surprise guest appearance and I can still remember how she says that she waters her roses at sunrise and sunset and Mama's reaction to her rules of roses. When Iola's rose turned out to be a dainty Bess who she thinks is ruined by Thelma's roses, she doesn't want the flower anymore. When May June praises it as a winner, Thelma claims it as the Princess Thelma. While they are arguing over roses, Vinton and Naomi are having a marital spat and Bubba has a solution which solves all their problems.
