Expression of love

I am rose, a flower which blooms and wilts.  I am symbol of love all over the world and spread happiness, love, passion etc. I am rich in fragrance and beauty.

Since it is festive season and atmosphere of love, I am full of happiness and feel proud that I am important and can be seen all around in the flower shops, on cards , with teddy bears, Archies, streets, in the hands of lovers etc. I feel so good to see that whole shop of my owner is surrounded by me and every person who enters the shop takes me with him. I express feelings, emotions, spark the imagination and touch the heart of so many people.

Earlier I was a small bud in a garden. I was watered everyday by the gardener and felt very safe in the garden. Then one day, when I was bloomed, I was tossed and swirled and then in baskets to a pickup truck. I was in fear of being harmed the way I was carried, all the way long from garden to flower shop or archies gallery.

Now, when I am in a flower shop, people pick me up and I can see grin on their face but I am mournful when I watch them judging me .This is so disgrace to me that I am judged all time by my size,colour,shape and fragrance.

I assume different meanings with different moods. My colour changes with my mood. When I am in mood to express love passion and beauty, I go red. When I express love at first sight I am lavender. Pink  to appreciate someone. White , showing purity, spirituality and  peace .Yellow  for friendship and orange for expressing feeling of new relationship.

 I spread happiness among people, bring smile on their face and help them in expressing their love. I have to agree that I am very beautiful and my entire species is a beauty to reckon with. You know when people describe me as a combination of elegance, beauty and boldness all wrapped in one, I feel as though I am in the seventh heaven. I am a small delicate flower and people call me a “charm” which has a superb aesthetic appeal which can cast a spell and bound a person with its magical touch .My owner also feels happy to be with me as he is earning lot of pennies and filling his pockets this week.

I am famous all over the world. I am native to UK. I am official national floral emblem of UK and was adopted as a symbol of peace during the time of wars related to me. Me and tulips are competitors and we both are symbol of love. At times its quite disappointing when people pick up tulips and leave me at a side because they find me ugly.

 I can be seen all around. Its not just that I am on pedestal during the festive season but my presence can be even felt during off season. I cant felt through my fragrance in perfumes , my petals can be seen in spas, for gift wraps, for spicing up fruit salads etc. I am also trademark of Archies ltd.

I feel gloomy when people don’t care about me. After expressing their love through me, the just don’t pay attention on me. They pluck out my petals and throw me in dustbin. My heart starts burning with fear and this is the time where my end comes.
