Rose Poems
Reflections on Roses through Poetry
We have many rose bushes in our yard at home and I do enjoy strolling through rose gardens. Some of these strolls have inspired the poems below. Other poems are from my memory of roses. This hub looks at Roses, the beautiful flower with so many personalities, from all angles.
I hope you enjoy the original poetry, presented below, that takes inspiration from The Rose.

Poems about Roses
A Garden of Roses
A garden of roses in violet and yellow
I see through my kitchen glass
The worms nourish from the earth below
On Nature's perfectly painted canvas
That one, there, won a medal
From the Royal Rose Society
So, in that spot I let it settle
To bask in its notoriety
The thorny branches I prune in spring
And blooms delight through summer
A two-tone fleur of white and pink
Is just now attracting a hummer
When the time is right, I harvest the hips
To brew a tea served hot or iced
I relish my tea and take long deep sips
In the stores this is steeply priced
My garden of roses gives me console
Around 50 bushes and climbers have I
The virtues of roses I love to extol
They offer me a wordless lullaby
Roses are Sweet
Roses are sweet and inspire much
Though their thorns are nasty to the touch
Plant a Rose Bush
Plant a rose bush for your heirs
And as long as someone cares
It will very long give delight
With blooms in summer light
What's in a Name?
Juliet said
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
--- From Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Upon the Wall
A still life is upon the wall
Of stemmed roses in a vase
This brightens the entry hall
Much better than it was
Roses are Red - Variations
Delicate Roses
Delicate roses painted on the porcelain
The artist did with such an even hand
And any eye since can surely ascertain
The love transferred for ages planned
Roses by Leila Meacham
This Slender Stem
This slender stem doth need a vase
To hold it up with such esteem
And give it respite from nature's laws
A thing of beauty we do deem
It's petals shall keep tight a while
A lover's heart to right beguile
Aloft, a hint of fragrance flies
That attracts nose as well as eyes

In the Rose Garden
Sitting amid the fragrant roses
She looks up from her book
A blue jay is making funny poses
To pull a worm from a hidden nook
She very much likes this garden
To read, reflect, take her parden
From the busy world outside the fence
A humble respite, this, her defense
After a time she rises to her feet
Stows her book, for now complete
And walks forward down one garden trail
Winding through bushes with clear avail
She'll wind her way and do her tour
Always whiffing the roses' store
Enjoying this, this simple bliss
An hour she would never miss
