Along with the beauty....

....also comes thorns.
I have not seen a flower, so beautiful, like rose and a rose without thorns. There are, of course, many beautiful flowers in the world, but rose is unique in its beauty and fragrance. I wonder why God made rose like that with its stem covered with thorns. But i think the same thorns safeguard the flower, rose, from being touched by any harmful creature and help to retain its beauty. In order to fancy the rose and take pleasure in it we must be careful about the thorns around. Only if we could trim the branch off the thorns, we would be able to take it into our tender hands, feel the soft petals and smell the enchanting aroma. Rose comes in different colors and each color represents a feeling or emotion. We use Red rose to express Love, Yellow to make friends and keep up with them and so on. A thornless Rose signifies - Love at first sight - but such Love has no stability or base. It could either make or break your life and there is no certainity in that. Rose is used as a beauty product to pamper our skin and also for decorative purposes or floral arrangements. It is used for various other purposes like cooking, medicine and rose extracts can be transformed into a pleasant smelling perfume. People love to have different kinds of rose plants grown in their garden because of its enthralling beauty. For us what matters is the beauty of the flower, but not its thorns, though we know that the thorns may prick our fingers to bleed. Even the Rose not in its full form, a bud, would motivate us to be hopeful and maintain the positive feelings for the blooming season. Just like the flower rose we cannot imagine to adorn our innerself without facing the thorns of life and going through the pain. A goldsmith cannot make beautiful ornaments without letting the gold to go through the burning furnace. In order to be admired for our beauty, thorns and pain are must in life and without them life would never exhibit the true beauty. We would be able to reflect the beautiful Rose only if we go through hardships, trials and tribulations. A Rose is still a flower and has a very short span of life to live with its beauty, but the beauty that is enhanced inside us will live forever in somebodys heart.

  1. A very good description of a rose, and even of a person. Another thing the thorns do for a rose is to make us appreciate their beauty even more because the thorns make that beauty harder to obtain.

  4. The thorns definitely protect the rose. I think of a rose as like me. Prickly on the outside but soft and lovely on the inside.
