The Rose Tree shows undeserved jealousy when its owner turns down the offer of another flower. Although the speaker rejects a single flower in favor of the several flowers his own tree at home can bear, the Rose Tree is jealous of these attentions and turns away from him, offering only thorns. This is love grown cold for no good reason and demonstrates the great damage that jealousy can bring from a single event, and when read along with the earlier “The Sick Rose,” the widespread damage caused by a small source becomes more plain.

Oy... The desire for what we THINK is better than what we have... Only a poet like Blake can make an irritating human struggle so... pretty.
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who only dream at night.

-Edgar Allan Poe

What a beautiful poem! I look at it as sometimes we can make the right choice and sometimes even that will cause a negative side effect. It definitely seems that the "rose-tree" was the jealous type.
Now it's all change, it's got to change more
Cause we think it's getting better
But nobody's really sure
