She didn't really kill her, but she told her to drop dead, and Frida Claxton did. Frida was a really mean, bitter woman who lived at the end of the block. The city wanted to tear down an old tree that was on her lot. Frida didn't care if they tore it down, but the rest of the block wanted it to stay up. Rose went over to Frida's house everyday with a danish to try and change her mind.

The day of the hearing Frida walked in and told the council that she wanted the tree torn down. Rose got angry and told her to drop dead. Frida had a heart attack right then and died.

The girls held a funeral for her and nobody showed up. Rose then took her ashes and spread them around the tree. By doing that she saved the tree and relieved the guilt she felt about killing Frida Claxton.
