A Red Rose In The Snow

what I see: A beautiful red rose in the snow
What do I feel: The Red Rose could suggest so many things, among many is beauty in unexpected places, a lost love, or a love that blooms in the harshest condition.

Story
One thing was common in Antarctica, Roses rarely survive the harsh cold weather. As much as they desired beautiful ornaments, it remained wishes. Mr. Charles, a floriculturist wouldn't give up, as he continually tried different species of flowers, crossing breeding and building genes to make one that was resistant to cold, but all attempts failed.

He held the last seed on his palm, it was already looking wrinkled. His hope was lost. He looked tired and his countenance was down. Reluctantly he buried the seed, expecting nothing from it, but to have the satisfaction that he tried his best. After a few days he noticed a new bud sprouting out from the buried rose stem. He wasn't too surprised, a lot of flowers have had similar signs but died before they could make petals.

After a few weeks, the Rose plant continued to grow, spreading her branches. Amidst the snowy ground, it found a place to spread her roots and soon began to blossom bearing flowers. Mr Charles was amazed at how resilient the flower was in the snow. It wasn't the first of its kind, but The one to have withstood the harsh condition it found itself in. A broad smile escaped Charles lips, all he needed to answer to people's need of ornaments was to reproduce its trait in other flowers.
