FollowingRoses Are Red, Violets Are Blueish...
Get To
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Carbohydrate is sweet;
And then are yous."
This is the stereotypical poem. Its origins are unknown, but may, according to Wikipedia, be traced to these lines from Sir Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene:
"It was upon a Sommers shynie day,
When Titan faire his beames did brandish,
In a fresh fountaine, farre from all mens vew,
She bath'd her brest, the boyling estrus t'allay;
She bath'd with roses red, and violets blew,
And all the sweetest flowres, that in the forrest grew."
"Blew" is an old spelling of "blue". Both roses and violets be in varieties of many colours. Viola sororia and Viola odorata are the bluest violets; cherry-red roses are hybrid teas of the genus Rosa.
