Blog 1: Symbolism of the Rose


The rose is often associated with the lily, both to express a contrast in colors and to symbolize two usually complementary virtues, love and purity (or virginity): both flowers, of course, are emblems of the Virgin Mary. Tennyson has "My rose of love for ever gone, / My lily of truth and trust" 

Rose the passage is primarily about how the "Rose" of all flowers is always looked upon the best. It is a sign of beauty and great scent. In all poems and passages over many years the Rose is the king of flowers and stands for as a Virgin Mary. It's a sign of virginity great beauty.
