Language "One Perfect Rose"

The language in this poem is descriptive as well as symbolic. The way the rose was described reminded me of an innocent love. The rose was "scented still wet with dew", and "having fragile leaves". However the narrator in this poem is not appreciative of this pure love, and wishes for a materialistic item. Instead of a perfect rose, she wishes for a "perfect limousine", and sarcastically states that it is just her lick to receive a "perfect rose".
