I am a rose

Feedback Received!

I am a rose.

Hardy, sturdy,
Tapped firmly in earth.

Bright, vibrant,
Florets bursting with sun.

Yet you pluck me,
Cast me away.

Brand me as noxious;
Under what right?

See my teeth,
Hear me roar!

I reject your labels.
I am a rose by another name.

And I am beautiful.

Edit: Originally, I was going to title this "Taraxacum". It appears the "hints" weren't sufficient, so it might've made what's going on a bit clearer.
