Robert Burns addresses the freshness of the rose in his poem.

Explanation:

This answer is found in the second stanza:

O, My luve is like a red red rose,

That's newly sprung in June ...

So in this poem, Robert burns compares his love to that of a blooming rose. This is one type of figurative speech called the simile, which is used to compare two different things using the word "like" or "as". So, this figurative speech simply means that Burns love is like the most vibrant rose in summer; It also probably explains why he mentioned the word red twice.
