Rose of all Roses
Rose of all the World!
You, too, have come
where the dim tides are hurled
Upon the wharves of sorrow,
and heard ring
The bell that calls us on;
the sweet far thing.
...from The Rose of Battle
William Butler Yeats
Sometimes a rose is just a rose. However, more often than not a rose represents something far greater; the rose can represent love, hope and life. Thoughts for the people of Paradise, California.
