Wow, has this ever sunk!

Since no one's picking up the ball, I'm going to offer one:

Rodents do special dance of felicitation (5, 4)
When the night has been too lonely, and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows,
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes The Rose.

Bunny Hops?

Here again is the one vison posted which no one could solve:

floral heart stopper (6,5)

Nope. It's a play on words, Jyn, with a double meaning. Though 'bunny hops' is pretty close, in one respect.

Sorry, I missed that one! Haven't a clue, either... :(

(Mind you, my nursing brain is automatically saying 'digitalis', which, of course, doesn't fit, though it can stop a heart!)

And, biologically speaking, a rabbit is NOT a rodent, but a lagomorph!

And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,

It was narya that posted "floral heart stopper", not me!!!

And I thought someone had solved it, with "Orlando Bloom", but evidently I was mistook.

hm.

Well, I give up. :(
Dig deeper.

Oops! Apologies to narya!

And to the hapless lagomorphs ... gee, I thought those teeth made them rodents.

Tigg, felicitation = happiness

Orlando Bloom is a good guess, but I'm thinking of something that is a play on words, or a groaner, anyway. These two words (6,5) sound almost like a single word that, because of the way it is usually served ....

Hmmh, isn't felicitation = congratulation, wishes of happiness?
but being a cheerful hobbit he had not needed hope, as long as despair could be postponed.

Yes, and you're VERY close to the solution TH! :D (Like Narya's, it's a groaner....)

It's all that mayonnaise that you dip it in that makes the dish a heart stopper, actually.
