Every time I see a rose, and especially when I stop to focus on it for a photograph, I see the marvelous beauty and design of nature! Such a lovely thing as a rose can fill one with emotion and bring forth words to express it.

When I really "see" the beauty of the rose, I am moved by the tones of color and the delicate folds of the petals. As the rose nestles in the bed of green leaves and protective thorns I can't help but feel awe and respect for all the beautiful wonders of nature. They are all here for our enjoyment and to add beauty to our lives. No wonder that many, when they have a chance to get away, will seek out nature to relax and revive in such surroundings. And it is a desirable thing to bring nature to our homes with such things as the wonders of a rose! We have always had roses in our yard.
