It is difficult to explain why this extremely widespread European loan-proverb has not taken root in the Finnish tradition. I have encountered only a single variant, recorded in Luumäki, southern Savo, in 1944: Ei ruusua ilman piikkiä, and a couple of aphorisms apparently learnt from autograph books or samplers: Missä ruusu, siinä piikki, missä kukka, siinä mato (Where there is a rose, there is a thorn; where a flower, there is a worm) and Kauneimankin ruusun alla piilee piikki pistävä (Even the most beautiful rose has a sharp thorn: Finnish Literature Society folklore collections, HAKS 32 217, K.J. Varvikko 496 and VK 30: 111, Düringsfeld & Reinsberg-Düringsfeld 1872, I: 888, Gottschalk 1935, I 51-52, Zukov 1966, 3099). Translation difficulties or factors of botanical geography do not explain the rejection of this proverb. The rose bush has flourished in the Finnish climate for centuries, while the symbolism of the rose and thorn have not.
