ROSES

“A thorn defends the rose, harming only those who would steal the blossom.”

Chinese

I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.

Welcome back Sandy.



Nice quote:

- Emma Goldman

Thank you.

Love,
yoko

Thanks Yoko!

Isn't that a great quote! It's the truth too! Hope it wasn't posted already. Went through them but didn't see it. Jewelry doesn't thrill me like roses, or any other flower, plant, grass etc! I know there are others here also who feel the same! One day I will figure out how to post the pictures. I know the ones on my computer are too large, just have to take the time to resize some to a bit smaller!
Love to you..and to all!

Thank you yoko and Sandy.

You are right Sandy, a necklace of roses is far superior to one made of stones, or whatever is in fashion.

As a lovesick nightingale, you flew among the owls.
Then came the scent of the rosegarden
and you flew off to meet the Rose.

Rumi

This rose is in my garden and I thought that I had lost it, but I kept watering it and feeding it and now it has a nice tall branch with a bud. I am so happy, since it is one of my favourite roses, that has been with me for a long time.

Love, Inda

Dear Sandy, I am also very happy that your beautiful rose is on Givnology.

Hi Inda!
I can see why you worry! It's a beautiful Rose! Is it called "Love and Peace"? I have a this and it looks similar to yours. A bit more pink in this picture, not always so pink!
Have a wonderful day!

“But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.”

Oliver Wendell Holmes

A rose is a rose is a rose.
- Quotes Gertrude Stein

I'd rather have roses on my
table than diamonds on my neck.
- Quotes Emma Goldman

That which God said to the rose,
and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty,
He said to my heart,
and made it a hundred times more beautiful.

Rumi

Each Morn a thousand Roses brings, you say:
Yes, but where leaves the Rose of Yesterday?
And this first Summer month that brings the Rose
Shall take Jamshyd and Kaikobád away.

Omar Khayyam

For if I wait," said she, "Till time for roses be,-
For the moss rose and the musk rose,
Maiden-blush and royal-dusk rose,-
"What glory then for me
In such a company?-
Roses plenty, roses plenty
And one nightingale for twenty?"

- Quotes Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The rose is a flower of love.
The world has acclaimed it for
centuries. Pink roses are for love
hopeful and expectant. White roses
are for love dead or forsaken,
but the red roses, ah the red roses
are for love triumphant.

Unknown



Roses red and violets blew,
And all the sweetest flowres
that in the forrest grew.

- Quotes Edmund Spenser

Roses are all in bud, and some are blooming already.
Enjoy these lovely flowers that bring some much beauty to our summer.

Love,
yoko

Nice of you to bring back the roses post.
They are all starting to bloom in my garden,
somewhat late this year due to the cold spring that we had.

...From th moment you came into the manifest world,
a ladder was offered for your escape.
From mineral substance you became a living plant,
and later a roving animal. Is this a secret?
Afterwards, as a human being,
you developed reason, consciousness, faith,
See how the body has risen from the dust like a rose...

Rumi
