Signification ... A Rose. 
Emblem .Red Rose. 
Sentiment .Beauty and Prosperity. 
Nought we find in garden bowers, 
Like the Eose,— the Queen of Flowers; 
Its beauty and its fragrance sweet, 
Shows loveliness pure and complete. 
Its bud is beautiful at first, 
More lovely still when forth it bursts; 
We see pure, glorious beauty there, 
Its fragrance sweet, fills all the air. 
But soon, alas! the rose decays,— 
It droops its head, and fades away; 
Yet with us leaves its fragrance still, 
Forth from its petals sweets distill.
