Roses in One Stroke and in Rare Color

A rose painted ala one stroke, may seem less magnificent compared to the previous renditions of Gong Pi style, but it sure consumes much less time to draw.

For the second rose painted ala Gong Pi, Hubby has suggested the purple color, which is a rare color (even unnatural?) for rose, definitely by no means as common as lavender and orchid. Nor does purple rose enjoy a niche in the spectrum of rose color associated with love. If one were to fall back on the meaning of color by itself, then "Purple is royalty. A mysterious color, purple is associated with both nobility and spirituality." So perhaps, that can be what a purple rose symbolizes.
