1. Every rose has its thorns but I can't see them in this beautiful picture.

3. Thanks! There's always a song

Love is a rose but you'd better not pick it
Only grows when it's on the vine
Handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
Lose your love when you say the word "Mine"

Neil Young/Love Is A Rose
