  • maybe the representation has nothing to do with the fact that the rose always dies. Take in to consideration that people always die too.
  • Rose colours and their meanings red The creative spirit of love. True love stronger than thorns. True red is the lover's rose. Amaranth red: long standing desire Cardinal red: sublime desire Carmine: deceitful desire (not true to color) Fieryred: flames of passion. yellow In Victorian times the rose meant jealousy. Maybe our thoughts have changed. Today it is given as a sign of friendship, sometimes as a sign of sympathy. It is the rose of familiar love and domestic happiness. The yellow rose of Texas is the only rose for me. white Loyalty, penetrating and platonic love. Able to captivate secret thought, love stronger than death. In England there is a saying about the white rose referring to the sub rosa, death to him who under my secrecy betrays his oath. In Scotland when the white rose bloomed in autumn it was seen as a token of early marriage. The rose of confession, the bridal rose, the rose of servitude. Can be otherworldly. pink Grace, gentility, elegance and refinement. The rose of sweet thoughts. purple Purple adds enchantment. Can be transcendental. Possible need to proceed cautiously. The priests wear lavender during lent, a time of discretion. Purple can indicate opulence or majesty. orange A warm color that says, I am proud of you. blue Fantasy and impossibility. Hoping for a miracle and new possibilities. Many people have a quest or a fascination for blue roses. I have a book by Ibn al Awam, which was written in the twelfth century, translated into French by J. J. Clement entitled Le livre de l'agriculture. the book speaks of azure blue roses that were known to the orient. These blue roses were attained by placing a blue die into the bark of the roots. This process is explained in the book and has been proven to work by Joret, a very knowledgeable french scientist.
  • This is what i think... because just like everything else in life...it once holds beauty, life and hope....after a while the beauty starts to fade away, it begins to die and the hope to regain it all back is lost. Everything dies. To say that something will last forever is only a lie. Why become blind to the truth when we already know what will happen. That's exactly how love is well it may seem a little negative...but thats my insight on it for now...i guess bcus my heart is a little broken :(
  • to me this is the way love works... it is sometimes unbelievably beautiful, but after a while, you look closer and realize how the thorns are piercing your fingers, and then the rose dies... and you have no hope of removing the thorns and enjoying it again, it is simply gone with all its beauty and all its power.. and you are left with nothing but trash to take out from your life. once amazing, but horrible in the end.
  • Sometimes things are more beautiful because they are ephemeral.
  • As Body of a person represent his/her soul.Person goes to die while soul never die.Its like that. Rose is only representation of love like a person body represents the soul.
  • Your question contains it's own answer! [sorry for the cynicism so close to the holidays!] ;-)
  • because...most Roses given are Red...Red is the color of Love. Roses are a very beautiful flower.Love is a Very beautiful thing..and as beautiful as the Rose is...it has thorns. Thorns hurt...so As Wonderful and Beautiful as the Love is...it can also hurt.
