'''"A Rose Is Not A Rose"''' is a song from the 1978 [[musical film]], ''[[The Magic of Lassie]]''. It is sung by 1950's icon [[Pat Boone]] whose daughter [[Debbie Boone]] sang the [[Academy Award]] nominated song "[[When You're Loved]]" from the same film. The song was written by [[Richard & Robert Sherman]]. |

==Trivia== |
|||
*The song title finds its origins as a play on the famous [[Shakespeare]]n quote: "A Rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet.", Modern writers subsequently encapsulated the sentiment, cobbling Shakespeare's phrase into the more accessible, "A rose is a rose is a rose." This song's title states the opposite: "A Rose is '''not''' a rose". The catch is in the parenthetical statement which follows the title line: ("without the thorns...") |

*The Sherman Brothers often write songs with the word "Rose" included in the title. This may be due to "Rose" having been their mother's name. Some Sherman Brothers titles include the following: |
|||
#"[[The Roses Of Success]]" from ''[[Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (film)|Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]]'' |
|||
#"[[A Rose In A Bible]]" from ''[[Huckleberry Finn (1974 film)|Huckleberry Finn]]'' |
|||
#"[[The Slipper and the Rose Waltz]]" from ''[[The Slipper and the Rose]]'' |
