I love roses in knitting designs. They are so easy to work and look so lovely when blocked. There are so many stitch variations and they all produce very pretty, very delicate lace!
On the other hand roses in a real life are very complex. They are the symbols of true love. Think of all the poems, songs and stories that use the rose as a metaphor - it is passion incarnate!
I have often thought - why the rose and not another flower? Is it the amazing scent, the intense colour, the intricate construction, the painful thorns? Who knows, maybe it is a combination of all of these. Certainly, the rose has caught the eye of artists who have given it a life beyond that of just a garden shrub.

Make your business the rose among thorns - just be passion incarnate!
Today, it's bleak and rainy and I just want to crawl inside a "multifoliate" rose and dream.

Dinner? Serve anything with a rose on the table and you have a dinner fit for a king! So why not make it KD or grilled cheese sandwiches or wieners and beans... Go lovely Rose and make it a meal to remember! The pictures - knitted roses in lace!
