Describe a rose (hurry up you have an hour and a hlaf)

Alright, for my english class we have to do this portfolio thing and for the introduction i am writing about why we write. and in that i am talking about how writing captures things better than spoken word or even pictures, so i want the most descriptive, beautiful description of a rose that you can give me.  make it shortish, less than six lines, and make it submittable for an english class. sorry this has like no effort put into it, but i want your descriptions.

Make the imagery awesome!

The winner should include all five senses if possible, plus how you feel when you see a rose!

    i lied, i only had it open for an hour, but all the entries i received in that time were absolutely wonderful. great job everyone, you all deserve to be part of my little school project... if not more. to those who won, i will of course be crediting you, if you would like me to credit your real name instead of your penname, i would like you to get back to me relatively quickly, because i am trying to get this done. thanks all!

    Any chance of allowing prewrites? I have two that would be perfect, oriku, i.e. acrostic tanka, only 5 lines each.

    Well, it seems this contest was closed just a few minutes before I was going to enter. Umm... that's just nice. I guess I'll just post my poem as a regular poem. meh. Next time, don't say you are going to close a contest at a certain time and then close it early. "you have an hour and a half" Ya... Ah well, Congratulations to the winners.
