Thread: help me plz

hi all

for native English speaker plz help me to understand the meaning of

"everything expresses its feelings by its deeds , save roses , on the contrary , by them things are expressed"

actually I don't know what is the meaning of "save roses" here ??
and what its relation with this sentence !!

plz help and translate English by English because I am Arabian speaker

thanks in advance

I'm not a native English speaker, so my answer might not be the definitive one, but I think "save roses" means "except for roses".

Also, I think "Arabian speaker" should be "Arabic speaker".

Yes, and yes!

(The overall sentence sounds "clunky" in English, as though machine-translated from another language... but Crocodile is correct that in this context, "save" means "except for" or "besides" or "excluding").
