Roses

From the time Cleopatra filled a room two-feet deep with rose petals for the visit of her beloved Marc Anthony to modern lovers offering a single rose to their love, the rose has been a symbol of romance and love.

Being sacred to Venus, the Roman goddess of love, No other plant has a heritage as long or romantic as the rose.

All roses symbolize love, but certain rose colors take on special meanings, a red rose signifies passion but a withered red rose meant that love was over. Red roses clearly say "I love you" in any romantic situation. but a single rose is all that is needed to promise lifelong devotion and romance to the love of your life.

True love is not without pain, like that of thorns in your side. Yet love is like the rose in full bloom, beautiful and full of life.

"In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love."

Even if love is full of thorns, I'd still embrace it for I know that in between those thorns, there is a rose that's worth all the pain.

The sweetest flower that blows, I give you as we part. For you it is a Rose, For me it is my heart.

You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.

Oh, my love's like a red, red rose, That ?s newly sprung in June;

Oh, my love's like the melodies That's sweetly played in tune.

It is at the edge of the petal that love waits.
