THE ROSE FAMILY by ROBERT FROST

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: THE ROSE IS A ROSE
Last Line: But were always a rose
Subject(s): ROSES;
The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But the theory now goes
That the apple's a rose,
And the pear is, and so's
The plum, I suppose.
The dear only knows
What will next prove a rose.
You, of course, are a rose-
But were always a rose.
