On all her breezes borne Earth yields no scents like those; But he, that dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose.
Anne Bront
For that mist may break when the sun is high And this soul forget its sorrow And the rose ray of the closing day May promise a brighter morrow.
Emily Jane Bront
Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, But which will bloom most constantly?
Emily Jane Bront

Isa Bowman
There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Henri Matisse
A relationship is like a rose, How long it lasts, no one knows; Love can erase an awful past, Love can be yours, you'll see at last; To feel that love, it makes you sigh, To have it leave, you'd rather die; You hope you've found that special rose, 'Cause you love and care for the one you chose.
Rob Cella

What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet

One by one the flowers close, Lily and dewy rose Shutting their tender petals from the moon.
Christina G. Rossetti
