The rose:



The Minecraft rose has been in the game since Classic 0.0.20a (A very long time!) and while all good things must come to an end I believe it isn't that time for the rose yet, the rose was removed and instead a rose bush came into the picture, while this is completely accurate that roses do indeed grow on bushes, it is not accurate that when picking roses you pull up the whole bush, this is incorrect and as such I believe it needs to be fixed as any bug would.



What I propose:



There have been many great ideas on the minecraft forums and such for ways to re-implement the rose including sheering the rose bush to get roses or bonemealing a rose bush to get a rose or crafting or things like that, one that I propose is simply have the rose be a drop from the rose bush (and perhaps have them still be generated along side with their fully grown companions) while using sheers to break the rose bush would result in the rose bush itself dropping, sort-of like grass, when you break grass it doesn't drop grass, it drops seeds, while using sheers to break it adds a silk touch effect and gives you the grass itself, I propose the same for roses and rose bushes, punching a rose bush gives you a rose, punching the rose bush with sheers would give you the rose bush itself, and of course poppies could also remain in the world generation, but roses would take back their rightful place and coexist with them, simple as that, then everyone can get what they want, and if my idea doesn't sound good then simply find another way to re-implement them, there's so many awesome ideas out there!



Closing statement:



I love the rose and don't want to see it go, my boyfriend gives me roses every time we play minecraft together and it means the world to me, giving me a rose was one of the first ways he showed his true feelings for me and I will never forget that, I hope they decide to re-implement the rose, not for me, but for the reasons I stated and for the community, so maybe in the future another guy out there can give a rose to the girl of his dreams in hopes that she feels the same, thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for considering my proposal.
