"Roses" is a ballad by the Irish band The Cranberries taken from the band's 6th studio album of the same title. According to O'Riordan in an interview given to Ultimate Guitar in late December 2011 (published on January 26th 2012), “the ‘Roses’ song [is about her father as] he passed away three weeks ago and I was there holding his hand”. She explains her “father was sick and had cancer for six-and-a-half years” and adds “actually he was so sick for so long, it was good that he was out of pain.
