Roses Are Red is Bobby Vinton's third studio album, released in 1962. After Vinton's hit "Roses Are Red (My Love)" reached No. 1 (and saved Vinton from being fired from Epic Records), the eponymous album was released and made its way up to No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Shortly after the success of the song and album, Epic renewed Vinton's contract but changed his artist title from a bandleader to a solo artist.

"

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?", "I Can't Stop Loving You", "I Can't Help It" and "Please Help Me, I'm Falling"). Vinton's 1964 No. 1 hit "Mr. Lonely" (co-written by Vinton) was originally only an album track here; its release as a single was two years later when it appeared on Bobby Vinton's Greatest Hits
