"The rose lover."
He said they were as young and beautiful as roses and that he loved and adored roses.
He doesn't mention that he was only interested in picking them. Many people love roses,
but they let them grow and bloom in peace where they are, so that they can enjoy their blooming and flourishing later on.
To ( help, advise, guard and protect, and care for them) ! is their >only< part in this.
Do not break or spoil what you love and adore
otherwise they wither quickly and do not blossom. If you ever dare to break roses in your own or your neighbor's garden,
watch out for their thorns.
Roses are beautiful, but they know how to defend themselves if you hurt them.
