Your video showing your red (and reddish) roses reminds me of the famous poem by the Scottish poet, Robert Burns: “A red, red rose.” Before I started watching your videos, I had always thought that red was the most popular color and indeed the quintessential color for roses just because my knowledge of roses was so influenced by Robert Burns’ famous poem. Now I realize that roses of other colors are also beautiful and probably even more popular than red roses. Still I’m glad that you introduce your red roses to us, appropriately in the month of June, the very month which Burns mentions in his poem. Thanks as always for your very beautiful and thought-provoking video!
Red rose resemble love in Chinese culture too. I am not sure if “Rose” in English means red roses. In Chinese, rose (玫瑰） originally means a jewel in red color. Roses are discovered and loved by ancient Chinese people. When they saw the flower rose, they felt they are as pretty as the jewel rose, therefore they named it rose.
