[This is from memory so punctuation may be off]

	Oh the red rose is a falcon
	and the white rose is a dove.
	The red rose speaks of passion 
	And the white rose breaths of love.

	So I give you a cream white rose bud
	With a flush on the petal tips--
	For the love that is purest and sweetest
	Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

Sorry, I don't have the name of the author with me.  On the other hand, I
do have a beautifuly dried cream white rose bud with a flush on its petal
tips (and I expect to keep it all my life).
