How are Rose and Love related !!

Ever wondered why the rose is considered as the most important aspect in the life of lovers? Well as of me, I never thought about it before and I would certainly not like to ponder on the reasons behind it. There are certain things that have been carried forward from generations and we accept them without even questioning. Its like why you wanna take a bath everyday, why people wear clothes (if they wouldnt have from the beginning, all you can see now is naked people all around you and you being one of them), why you get to sleep only in the night and work during the day and why isnt it the other way round, etcetera....There are a hell lots of questions like these but nobody even cared to think about them for a moment. So why should I be wasting my fucking time on it. Well, now that i dont have anything better to do at home, I wont mind thinking about these questions for a moment and come up with some valid and interesting answers.

Question:
So the first question is why rose is a symbol of love? Why only this flower, why not a lily or tulip or the freaking spider orchid? or why a flower at all? why not a common thing like pen or a shoe?

Answer:
I did some research on it which apparently is a wikipedia search and lots of reading, i ended up in a pretty funny answer. If you play around the word rose and jumble its letter up a little bit, you will get a name called "Eros". What is it then?? Its the name of the god of lust, love and intercourse. Wow!!! that was something i didnt know before. All i knew was the god of lust and intercourse was Kamadev. O'boy i was so wrong till now and nobody corrected me. Strange!!! Now i really need to brush up my knowledge on this.
Anyways, the apart from the resemblance with the god of love, the color of rose depicts something else. As this color is no other than the color of blood, I can well co-relate why is it so. Heard about romeo-juliet, heer-ranjha, laila-majnu, bla and bla? What happened to them and to their so famous love stories? One of them has always died. Yes, and thats the click. The color of rose demands blood in all these stories and one of the lovers has always to sacrifice for it. Thats kind of freaky!!!
What about the petals on the rose? You can see many of them and all entangled. Thats what it is all about. It makes life confusing and more difficult to deal with. Just have a look at lily or orchid, they have got so simple arrangement of petals and yet they look so beautiful. You know what i mean, dont you?
Last but not the least, its the most easily available piece of flower in market and is available every day in a year. Any goddamn person can fetch it anytime whenever they want it. Its not that you have to wait for a whole season just to give your beloved a flower that is a symbol of love. And this reason i think is the best and the valid one that i can think of. Nothing can surpass this.
