The Last Red Rose of Autumn – First Portrait The last red rose of Autumn signifies a heartfelt farewell to all of us, as the coming changeover to the icy-cold Winter season begins to make its frigid presence known all around as the faint glimmer of Autumn slowly and inevitably says its goodbye to us. The last red rose of Autumn is very special, in its magical and enchanting radiant-red hue, and in the divine spirit it conjures for all of us to see of its wondrous image and beauty, whilst we marvel at the majestic nature of its richly redolent aroma that captivates our senses. The last red rose of Autumn now sheds a big tear that she must depart with the coming of Winter. Goodbye.
