[net.books] seeking poem & poet

Here is a question for all you literary cognoscienti out there...

I am trying to remember a poem I knew long ago.  It is about
two kinds of love represented by colors of roses.  A white
rose means chaste devotion, while a red rose "whispers of passion."
The last verse says that "the love that is sweetest and purest"
is a white rose with a blush of redness.

If you know this poem please send me email at

Thanks!
