El poema "Cultivo Una Rosa Blanca" habla sobre la amistad. Podemos ver que el poeta cultiva una rosa para los amigos que están siempre a su lado y que él los tiene siempre presentes. Por otra parte, el autor también cultiva rosas blancas para esas personas que no le fueron fieles y que le hicieron mal. De esta manera él está diciendo que les da una segunda oportunidad o que los perdona para vivir sin rencores y tranquilo con sigo mismo. El autor atiende tanto a sus amigos como a aquellos que le han fallado teniéndolos en cuenta y rindiéndoles un homenaje cultivando una rosa blanca.

Explanation:

José Julián Martí Pérez, mostly knwon as Jose Martí  (1853-1895) was a Cuban poet. He wrote "Cultivo de una Rosa Blanca" in 1891.
