Weekly Photo Challenge: Love is like a Rose!

Roses and expression of Love has been associated with each other from centuries and it will exist for centuries…

MY love is like a red, red rose 
That’s newly sprung in June: 
My love is like the melodies 
That’s sweetly played in tune.

“My love is like a rose divided into two, the leaves I give to others, but the rose I give to you.” Source Unknown
A simple rose I have found It’s not the flower that grows from the ground, Its beauty is one of such delight … This rose is soft to the touch in all its perfection.
“My love is like a rose divided into two, the leaves I give to others, but the rose I give to you.” Source Unknown
The envy for all the flowers in this garden Its fragrance will consume your every obsession. This rose must be a gift, a gift from above A gift from Heaven to show us love.
“Even if love is full of thorns, I’d still embrace it for I know that in between those thorns, there is a rose that’s worth all the pain.”
Every morning I wake to see its petals glisten Its easy to see how one could be so smitten If love was a rose it would shine so bright Because all I need is this rose in my life.
“If love were what the rose is,And I were like the leaf, Our love would grow together,In sad or sighing weather.” Swinburne, A Match
“But he who dares not grasp the thorn Should never crave the rose.” ― Anne Brontë
“A rose is a symbol of my love for you. Its petals shine in beauty, its thorn show its pain.”
“Have you ever watched a rose as it fades away; the color becomes deeper as the petals dry. That’s how my love for you deepens as the days go by.”
“Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature’s laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet. Funny, it seems to by keeping it’s dreams; it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.” ― Tupac Shakur, The Rose That Grew from Concrete
“Long live the rose that grew from the concrete when no one else ever cared.” Tupac Amaru Shakur
“Just remember, during the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, that there’s a seed that with the sun’s love in the spring becomes a rose.” Leanne Rhimes
“Love is like a rose. When pressed between two lifetimes, it will last forever.”
“There may be many flowers in a man’s life, but there is only one rose.”
