She’s the pride of Alberta
As everybody knows
Our Provincial emblem
The wild Alberta rose.
She’s a hardy flower
She’s scattered everywhere…
Shady thickets or gravel ditches
You’ll find her growing there.
It takes a better man than me
To tell the rose’s story
Of how she looks and smells
When to bloom in all her glory.
But she’s my favourite flower
I can hardly wait for June
When once again I see
The roses when they bloom.
The time when they’re in blossom
Well it really goes so fast
Why it only seems a fleeting moment
That their beauty lasts.
But to me it’s worth the wait
Through the months of winter’s gloom
For those few days in the summer
When Alberta roses bloom.
