Thank you so much for your good review, Dr. Dip. It means a lot to me.
Comment from Leineco
This truly is gorgeous. From Red rose divine.... to Your petals died, as our discarded youth. I was breathlessly caught up.
And then your final closing couplet
Red rose, your wisdom will transcend the Time
All wrapped in passion, clover, sage and rhyme.
completely summed up all that had come before.
Lovely work :-)

Comment from teafor2
yeltel--This challenging genre is an excellent vehicle for
scribe's bitter-sweet lament: life, love and beauty share
the same pitfalls as the rose; never smooth sailing without
some bumps and bruises or worse. The twist/turn in line #9
indicates the duality of protagonists "sweet-folly:"
"We found each other through your mystic charm
A symbol of our souls' unspoken truce;
Alas, we failed to hear your soft alarm,
Your petals died, as our discarded youth."
By overlooking jusxaposition, relationship suffered the same
fate as the rose. In the ending couplet, speaker
gives iconic flora much praise:
"Red rose, your wisdom will transcend the Time
All wrapped in passion, clover, sage and rhyme."
This serves as both an excellent summation and gives the
poem a sense of finality. Well done. I enjoyed my read.

Wonderful display of thought and wisdom as a voice from the many that have never seen a recon of truth for the day they slave under the view from the star we call our sun....

Comment from Showboat
What an excellent poem that was and so very evocative. I love roses and can't tell you how many times these thoughts cross my mind.
"Your petals are still beautiful at dawn
But not for long, so frail your earthly spree."
Excellent, and thank you for sharing.

Comment from Just2Write
You are truly in your element with Sonnets. This one is no exception. I liked the whole poem, but my favourite lines were:
Alas, we failed to hear your soft alarm,
Your petals died, as our discarded youth.
Ah yes, youth does die, as do the petals of the rose.

Comment from Evelyn Fort Stewart
I love roses. One of the Fan Story family sent me a rainbow of roses, they were beautiful beyond belief and it so touched my heart so cared for me so much. Great poem. God loves you and I do too.
