My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose.
(Robert Burn)
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
This Valentine's Day,
I’ll give flowers to you.
Believe it or not, over 110 million roses will be given this Valentine’s Day. For centuries poets, like Robert Burns, have revered the rose as a symbol of love, beauty and passion. The red rose is the color of the heart and was the flower of Venus, the Roman Goddess of Love. Giving a rose to your betrothed is also intended to show that your love was stronger than thorns.
