In his defence, both flowers exude a regal personality and connote an idea of love, albeit in different interpretations. The Rose by any other name If there is a flower that perfectly embodies passion and a queen-like disposition, the Rose is arguably the first on the list. But then, roses come in different colours and, with them, new meanings. Our u
