Climbing rose

Oh what a tangled language English is
And how easy it is to misconstrue;
A man takes a lady out to dinner for the first time. Later they go on to a
show
The evening is a huge success and as he drops her at her door he says 'I
have had a lovely time.
You looked so beautiful, you remind me of a beautiful climbing rose.
May I call on you tomorrow?'
She agrees and a date is made.
The next night he knocks on her door and when she opens it she slaps him
hard across the face. He is stunned. 'What was that for?' he
asked.
She said 'I looked up beautiful climbing rose in the encyclopaedia last
night and it said,
"Best suited for rooting against a brick wall or fence, no good in an open
bed.'
