And Some Roses Have Thorns

A ROSE IS a type of flower.
I'm  trying to understand.
A flower is not always a ROSE.
Although a ROSE could be a weed.
A weed is not always a ROSE.
Is a ROSE always a weed?
So then we can all conclude that a weed 
Is sometimes A STUNNING POETIC DISPLAY.
AND may be sold by florists at high prices.
Which will inevitably lead to EMPTY POCKETS.
YES, some flowers might be weeds.
ARMED WITH THESE NEW FACTS
I think roses should be much less EXPENSIVE.
MY BEAUTIFUL BLUE weed.
And SOME HAVE THORNS.
