The orange rose is a symbol of remembrance.
The emotional impact of the Vietnam War Memorial cannot be overstated
and it is a great challenge to capture on film. This picture speaks for itself
and the roses speak for us all.
The Orange rose symbolizes an expression of pride and amazement of great achievements in someone's life. A bouquet of orange roses would be appropriate for a graduate or to commemorate a promotion and express sincere appreciation for someones accomplishments. Therefor the orange rose is often the "Rose of Remembrance" and is given to family members of those who have passed on as well as laid at memorial and burial sites as a gift of great respect, admiration and to never be forgotten.
The "Ode of Remembrance" is an ode taken from Laurence Binyon's "For the Fallen", which was first published in The Times in September 1914.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
