What Kind Of Rose Are You?
When we moved into this house several years ago, the first thing I wanted to do was plant roses. The existing landscaping was beautiful, but a woman wants to add her personal touch to make the new house her home.
I planted 3 kinds of roses—hybrid tea roses, climbing roses, and miniature roses. Hybrid tea roses are the kind that florists use for long-stemmed roses. I especially love the Mr. Lincoln hybrid tea roses which is a deep, dark red with the scent that roses are known for. Climbing roses are best known for the yearly show of many blooms. The miniature roses might be small, but they make up for it in lovely buds.
Some people are like the hybrid tea rose, which stands out, putting out a fragrance that draws people to them. When they walk into a room, everyone knows it. They don't do it on purpose, but are full of life and definitely one of a kind. They stand out in a crowd.

Some people are like the climbing rose, blooming best surrounded by other people. They are the ones who blend in, making up a bower of blossoms that take your breath away.
The miniature roses represent those who bloom in small ways, just as lovely, but not as showy. Some of them are more beautiful as a bud. We might need to put on our bifocals to see them clearly, because they can be easily missed, but they are every bit as beautiful as the big showy climbing roses and the long-stemmed hybrid tea rose.
Our Lord Jesus has frequently been referred to as the Rose of Sharon. In Song of Solomon 2:1, the Bible says "I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys." He is the perennial which lives forever.
