Red Roses For Me was the first full length album by London-based band The Pogues, released in 1985. Filled with traditional Irish music performed with a furious punk attitude, this album was something the music scene never had seen before. Traditional songs and ballads mixed with Shane MacGowans "gutter hymns" about drinking, fighting and f**king was considered a fresh breeze at the time. Or as lead singer MacGowan explained the music: "I couldn´t believe that nobody else were doing it, so we went on doing it ourselves..." The title "Red Roses For Me" is the name of a song by Sean O´Casey, though it did not appear on the album, nor was it ever recorded by the Pogues.
According to these, single roses are meant to express liking, rather than love, bouquets speak volumes about love, long stem roses are for those who have a marked style and exude elegance, and dark redroses express the language of passion and longing.
It is virtually impossible to miss a redrose in an office, a mall, a home, and a hotel, in the hands of a bride or pinned to the lapel of a statesman.
