Some more top-notch rose songs by some top notch singers ( I went with Fanny Brice instead of Barbra, Alan jones instead of John MacCormick and Marty Robbins instead of Bobby Darin)

From the Grateful Dead, who used roses (often in conjunction with a skull) as s symbol:
"Ramble on Rose"
"It Must Have Been the Roses"
Three more really great rose songs:
Fats Waller classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7zm8v9reDo
Johnny Cash at his best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMX4f4PqJ94
underrated tune by Danny Hutton – he would go on later to Three Dog Night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-7-g5Vraqs
Old timers will remember that Richard Nixon borrowed the Lynn Anderson song and sang it to Gerald Ford…"I beg your pardon, the one you promised in the Rose Garden."
From the World's Greatest Entertainer:

So sorry to have not seen a personal favorite: Harry Ruby's Show Me a Rose, sung here by the song's greatest stylist, Groucho Marx. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqPEDHqvtF0
