You have just entered the rose garden. Relax enjoy the beauty, and the fragrance of the flowers. If you would like, cut this one, (I made especially for you), and take it home. Roses are just meant to be shared Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful for beauty is God's handwriting-a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, In every fair sky, in every flower, And thank God for it As a cup of blessing. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)   I love roses, they have always been my favorite flowers. They remind me of the wonder of life and love. While they are beautiful and delicate, they also have the thorns Just like life: there are joys, and sorrows, sweet and bitter, light and dark. When God created the rose, I believe He was showing us the opposites contained in life itself. When a rose is crushed, that is when its fragrance is at its best. It is in our hardest times, when we learn the most, not in our happiest times. Roses are used in so many events in our lives, more than any flower. They are given to express love. Rosebuds are often used to represent babies and are used at weddings, and funerals. There, again we have a rose used in a happy event and a sad one. They also come in many colors and varieties, just as people do. "After the coldest winter we know the rose will bloom again. After the storms there are rainbows. When the rose dies its fragrance lives on. When a human rose dies their fragrance lives on too, in memories on earth, and in thegarden of God."
