Inpired by: Red Roses :)

I love roses so much! They are little miracles from nature. Many of the vintage brooches in my collection are roses. But they also have so many different meanings :)

“Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.” (Mark Overby)

“Life is a rose; beware of the thorns.” (unknown)

“Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose.” (Turkish proverb)

“He who wants a rose must respect the thorn.” (Persian proverb)

“Do not watch the petals fall from the rose with sadness, know that, like life, things sometimes must fade, before they can bloom again.” (unknown)
