That is interesting Mark that the Rose is a prominent part of your lĂ­ves. We have so many rose trees in our garden..(around 50)....and when the wind blows there are rose petals strewn all around.....and it has such a magical look. I have always known that the rose was an important symbol where something so beautiful can grow out of something covered with dreadful thorns. But that is the symbol of life.....it is through pain and suffering that we learn.
