   • “I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.”
   • Context: In the poetic language of the Song of Solomon, the beloved describes herself as a rose, possibly indicating beauty and love.

While some translations mention “roses,” the original Hebrew words sometimes refer to other flowers, such as crocuses or lilies. Ancient Hebrew terms for flowers may not always correspond precisely to the species we know today as roses.
