My first thought on seeing rose? It's pretty. But as I get to know more about it, mostly just on appearance, it's pretty but when not handled with care, the torn may hurt me. So I should be careful while admiring its beauty.
To be honest, I already forget the smell of rose. When was the last time I smell it, been too long already. One of the worst thing that can happen to a person without its sense of smell and taste, forgetting all those beautiful things that made me happy once, aigooo.
But because I still have my eyes, for me their beauty is still the same as to what I remember ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
Of course, there are the thorns. Take care how you handle it ;)
The smell, I almost forgot it too, because it was a year ago that I had the opportunity to smell them. But it came back in one second when my nose came close to the roses :))
