The #rose is fairest when 'tis budding new and hope is brightest when it dawns from fears.
Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms but which will bloom most constantly?
The optimist sees the #rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns oblivious to the #rose..
The #rose is the #flower and handmaiden of love - the lily her fair associate is the emblem of beauty and purity..
The #red#rose whispers of passion and the white #rose breathes of love; O the #red#rose is a falcon and the white #rose is a dove......
