I love every single color of roses
The gardeners have created
Beauty of a rose certainly
Cannot be understated

Reds are bright or a deep color
Yellow the color of the sun
And lavender roses are special
And I find them so much fun

Orange roses are captivating
So many shades of them all
Some roses are bushes
And long-stemmed are very tall

Multi-colored roses so lovely
You just can not get enough
You can cut them for bouquets
For their stems are very tough

The fragrance, oh the fragrance
Is virtually hard to express
Almost a phenomenon
Just part of nature I guess

But the rose most special to me
You’ll find in poetry or prose
And that is my very favorite
Loveliest of all, the pink rose!
