The red rose whispers of passion,
\nAnd the white rose breathes of love;<\/p>\n

O, the red rose is a falcon,
\nAnd the white rose is a dove.

There\u2019s no getting around it \u2014\u00a0the rose says romance like no other flower. Yet\u00a0the meaning behind the rose isn\u2019t simple. Below the blooms lie the\u00a0thorns. A secret meeting of minds is held sub rosa,<\/em> under the rose. The rose not only symbolizes youthful,\u00a0innocent love, <\/em> but also stands for contentious civil\u00a0wars. In short, the rose is as complex and boundless as romance itself.<\/p>\n
