THE ROSE FAMILY, by             Poem Explanation     Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The rose is a rose
Last Line: But were always a rose
Subject(s): Roses


The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But the theory now goes
That the apple's a rose,
And the pear is, and so's
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose-
But were always a rose.
