The rose is one of the most beautifully fashioned and delicately perfumed flowers made by God. Remarkable similarities exist between the rose and the beautiful women that God created. Within these pages, both the rose and womanhood are examined in terms of four phases of life: Innocence, Awareness, Maturity and Resolution. The lessons learned can be used to fight the fear of aging and to live a clean and holy life according to the Scriptures.
