The Rose by sjodell

The Rose

photo 91
"The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
Oh, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rose bud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips"

~ John Boyle O'Rielly 1844-1890

The roses were too beautiful not to get at least one more photo out of them, so I here it is..........
