Not as much a teacher as I thought.

As evidenced by the Description found here, the image of the painting shown here has been horizontally flipped (what's on the right here is on the left in the painting), as is incorrectly the case in most online images of it.

/// We young ladies, (each one of us gems),
meet each week on stone stairs to the Thames.
One by one, each girl poses,
holding specially-grown roses
which are bred for their extra-long stems.

/// The tall stems are all perfectly straight,
and, of course, without thorns, (which we hate).
They appear in these pix
as rose-topped walking sticks,
an impression we will not negate.

/// It’s the age when Victoria reigned,
and the young lady shyly explained
that the Queen’s secret was
“go commando,” because
her Prince Albert, all knickers, disdained.
