I like red roses. Its light fragrance is very enchanting. And a special thing about its fragrance & the taste is a slight astringency that makes it exceptionally well (I have tasted rose petals).
With all the beauty of the rose, the presence of thorns to protect it also discloses that all the beauties and charms of this world is surrounded and protected by some hardships and sufferings. Which is also an essential part of this life and beauty is hidden in it. One who suffers this hardship get success, feel good and climbed up. The beauty of life is to live with these hardships & difficulties, struggle to overcome them. An Urdu poet said
پھول کے واسطے کانٹوں سے الجھنا ہے تمہیں
الجھنے وقت کی سلجھا کر سلجھنا ہے تمہیں
You have to quarrel with thorns to get flowers
You have to solve the issues & problems of the age before you work for yourself
These thorns also tell us that a person should not be so soft and sweet that people chew or digest him. There should be some cleverness & stubbornness in him like the rose so that before plucking the flower, the next the person thinks that the thorn can hurt me.
In short, create beauty, sweetness and charm in yourself, but also keep some kind of thorns which will protect you.
