The Importance of the Rose

.THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ROSE (flower contest entry) Every rose harbors a story, from buds kissed by the dew, lovely glorious blossoms, share the mystique of their hue. Sunny yellow says “I care,” lemonade to shades of gold, non-romantic true affection, invites friendships to unfold. A whisper of sweet memories blooms the peaceful rose of white, beautiful remembrances like flocks of doves in flight. A pink rose sings of happiness, bright tones or soft pastels bring goodwill, joy and cheerfulness to any story that it tells. Burning passion and desire spark from a brilliant flame , an orange rose like a sunset, no two are quite the same. The moody hybrid blue rose, cries of unrequited love, a lonely journey by your heart, without who you’re dreaming of. The “Queen of Roses,” ruby red, it’s splendor unsurpassed, a love beyond all others, a true love that will last. Symbolic and enchanting, each wondrous flower that grows, life would surely lack some magic, without the beauty of the rose. Liz Labadie-Reilly Nov 3 2015
