Poem
“Of all flowers, methinks a rose is best.” – William Shakespeare, The Two Noble Kinsmen Sweet Rose, for ages you have blessed the human race with your beauty, elegance and grace. You show yourself to us in so many ways . . . as miniature, teacup, floribunda, rambler,,climber, and as so many other species of loveliness - a true wonder of God's creations! Whether on the ground, in the wild, in gardens, or on bushes, you bring me such pleasure to see your many shapes and sizes. Unlike pansies and other annual flowers, which glimmer for a time, then die – never to regrow, you come and you go, sweet Rose, continuously from spring, through summer, and until the chill of fall. Oh, sweet Rose, with your names so charming, I love you all. With female names like “Princess Diana,” “Lolita” or “Bathsheba,” you intrigue me. With names that reflect the splendor of your many hues such as “Toffee,” the pale yellow “Sahara,” the bold “Gold Medal,” “Beyond Blue,” and “Black Magic,” you enchant me. With cute precious names like “Adorable,” “or “Angel Face,” you delight me! My muse reawakens each spring as your glorious scent perfumes the air, and you offer yourself to the worshiping bees. In those rare moments when I see a hummingbird partaking of your nectar, I nearly gasp with excitement. Oh, sweet Rose, whether posing steadfastly in the summer sun, dancing with breezes, or dreaming beneath the moon, there is no flower so popular as you. And no other flower bears so many different meanings as those found in the paleness or in the vibrancy of your many colors. Innocence is your white; your friendship, yellow; your modesty, peach; In burgundy and dark pink, you show forth admiration; in coral, good fortune; and in light pink, the cheerfulness of youth. In the tint of amaranth is your passion; in rare green, your freshness; in purple, your whimsy; however, your ruby red transcends them all with the purity of love. The deeper your hue, the deeper is your meaning. You are the symbol for so many things of which the poet dreams! Oh, sweet Rose, I adore you. How you inspire me with each bloom of your dewy petals that I chance to view. Never do you cease to amaze me, sweet Rose. May you blossom ever sweetly into eternity!
