I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
If you’ve ever watched The Bachelor, a dating and relationship reality television series, you are familiar with the phrase, “Will you accept this rose?”
The series revolves around a single bachelor, seeking a wife. He is matched with a selection of suitresses. During the course of the season, the bachelor narrows down his choices at the rose ceremonies. If he sees potential in a candidate and wants to continue pursuing the relationship, he will extend toward her a long stem red rose, asking, “Will you accept this rose?”
