When the Roses Bloom Again is a song that was originally recorded in 1997 by Ricky Skaggs on his album "Life Is a Journey". The song was written by Nathan G. Gibson and Walter G. Samuels.

The song is a ballad that tells the story of a soldier who is leaving his sweetheart to fight in a war. He promises to return to her when the roses bloom again, but tragically, he is killed in battle. The lyrics are poignant and emotional, capturing the sadness and loss that are often felt during times of war.

Skaggs' version of the song features his signature bluegrass sound, with acoustic guitar, fiddle, and mandolin accompaniment. The song has been covered by several other artists over the years, including Emmylou Harris and Tim O'Brien.
