Roses For Vienna

There is no rose named "Vienna" so what can I do?
I promised a bunch of roses - especially for you.
There is no rose as sweet, as your personality
That show such affection to all, and hopefully includes me.

You gave me the name of Golden Girl
So I will send to you
A rose called “Gold Medal,” because I think you are worth that too
Sent on “Golden Wings” a spreading shrub with quite a bloom
“Golden Showers” to bathe in, with a fragrant perfume.
These are names of roses but they still cannot compare
They should name a rose “Vienna” I think that would be fair. xx

Hope you like them xx
