Prayer/Poem of the Week- Prayer of Roses (from the back of a Spanish votive candle)

I found this prayer on the back of a votive candle to Our Lady of Guadalupe. I have looked and looked for a source, but haven't had any luck. In any case, I loved the prayer so much that I immediately scribbled it into my Book of Hours and recite it on a regular basis. 

Merciful Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, show clemency, love, and compassion to those who love you and search for your protection. May the sweet fragrance of roses reach your divine Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, that He may hear our prayers, wipe our tears, and give us comfort and assistance. (Concentrate on your desires.) Amen.
