This is a vintage story that takes place during the Second World War. It is about two people who have known each other for four years but who have never met. They are pen pals - a young soldier stationed overseas for the duration of the war and a woman in the States who is his only contact back home. At the end of the war they agree to meet in Grand Central Station. However, that meeting can only take place through the intervention of a third person who is a stranger to both of them but who is crucial to their introduction. That is why the story has three red roses in the title and not just two.
