You may well ask why. It is interesting that to show his lover the depth of his feelings, he will give her a dozen red roses. Roses are a metaphor for love. Their intricate beauty and delicate smell. You need to handle a petal with as much love and care as the manner and thought behind which they were purchased.
One wrong move can bruise easily, unintentionally. Kept in the right place in the right conditions a cut rose can last for a long time. Indeed some roses have been preserved forever within a vaccuum packed glass vase. Sometimes if you move too quickly - or make a wrong move - you can be hurt until you bleed - for even the most beautiful red rose has a thorn on its stem.
Handle with Care
[Kate's postscript :I wonder now whether this "statement" of mine, for wont of a better word, is more indicative of a fragile relationship that can never quite work. For true love goes far deeper - ideally there should be no bleeding - maybe that depends on the strength of the individual?]
