When I was a little girl, I saw a rose being drawn starting with a heart/love symbol as the center of the flower. Then more petals were added around it one by one forming a complete rose.
Roses are always associated with love. That drawing was with no exception.

Beautifully drawn by Casper2598. |
What was once a childish drawing is understood now. Only a perfect flower such as a rose fits to carry such strong meaning on its petals, that a heart shape drawn as the heart of a rose is no stroke or joke of an artist but is in fact innate to rose's natural form and beauty.
This is what I mean;
 |
I found 'love' drawn on my SN Apricot Madness. |
 |
The side view. |
 |
Madly, deeply in love with apricot bloom. |
 |
The tree that is may be 8-9 feet high. |
 |
This rose stands wet weather well. |
 |
Opens into beautiful dense double petals. |
 |
There is a light scent. |
 |
Makes beautiful cut flower. The next round it flowers, I have a vase ready. |
 |
Dark green, slightly rugosed medium green leaves. Subject to seasonal blackspot. |
 |
Though can stand being wet, it needs securing during heavy storm for being too tall. |
 |
The tree that radiates a lot of love lately. |
 |
Bushy habit and suckering well. Good plant. |
 |
At times, to high to smell the roses. |
 |
A mixture of apricot, pink, peachy and yellow. |
 |
The balance of colors altering as the petals age.
It ages into pale apricot, cream and and pink on hardened petals. |
 |
On the inside the petals are yellow. |
 |
Showing off stamens. |

If roses could speak the words of my heart...
They'd tell you...
How much I love you.

Roses.... very inspiring.
Your quote says it all. Your roses are gorgeous and I love them all!
BangChik & Malar - Thanks for your nice words. I love Apricot Madness dearly as the flowers brighten my garden. Although it does have a problem with blackspot, I don't think I'll let go of this variety easily.
