In England, roses were tied to prosperity and good outcomes, especially in gardens. If something “came up roses,” it meant it turned out better than expected, like everything bloomed in your favor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere’s also a theatrical angle people point to. In old stage productions, if a performance went really well, actors would sometimes get showered with roses. So “coming up roses” became tied to success, applause, things working out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEither way, it always carries that contrast underneath it.\u003cbr\u003eThings weren’t guaranteed to go well… but somehow they did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"276\"\u003eThis piece is a one of a kind original, created on a 24 x 24 canvas using acrylic and mixed media.
