Lovely Rose

Why is a rose a symbol of love? Is it the lushious velvety red color? Is it the beautiful spiral the petals make? Or is it the gestures that come with the rose? Why are roses the common flower for Valentine's Day? Is it perhaps the same in general? My interpretation of the rose is quite deeper. The stem being the point in time where we first connect The thorns being the obstacles we face together. The lushious velvety red color being the happiness and color of our beaming faces on our wedding day. And the beautiful swirling petals being the illustrious and amazing life we live together.

Congratulations on POTD. The rose and its exquisite beauty symbolizes the love for and the beauty of the beloved lady it has been given to. The rose is by no means the only fantastically beautiful flower but it has become the symbol of true love.
