"Love Is a Rose" is a song written by Neil Young in 1974 for the unreleased album Homegrown. It was later released in 1977 on the compilation Decade.
The melody for "Love Is a Rose" was taken from yet another unreleased song "Dance Dance Dance," which finally saw release on Live at Massey Hall 1971 in 2007. Young's longtime backing band Crazy Horse had recorded "Dance Dance Dance" in 1971 on their album Crazy Horse.
Linda Ronstadt recorded "Love Is a Rose" in a country music arrangement on her platinum-certified 1975 album Prisoner in Disguise. Her rendition peaked at number five on the US Billboard Country Singles chart. It was originally released as the album's first single and was moving up the charts when another album track began receiving major airplay. Asylum Records pulled "Love Is a Rose" and re-issued the song as the B-side to "Heat Wave."
Lisa Loeb recorded "Love Is a Rose" on her 2008 album, Camp Lisa. Jill Johnson covered the song on her 2009 cover album Music Row II, after having performed the song live a capella with the band on live concerts.
I love this song. I'll dance with you Neil. He is so cute :)
