It seems roses had been around for millions of years and the first mention of them and their appearance in artistic motifs was in Asia some 3500 years ago. The fragrance of roses was valued by the Romans and they used roses to scent rooms and after bathing. Cleopatra supposedly filled a room over a foot deep with rose petals while wooing Marc Anthony. The two main roses used during the era were the Damask and Gallica types

ReplyDeleteDefinitely..., but we only have two pots...
DeleteI think Cleopatra had the right idea, for where would civilization be without the rose?
ReplyDeleteDoes any other flower, and there are many contenders, have such a universal appeal? There's some kind of magic in the rose.
There's something in "rose" that many parents choose ROSE as the suitable name for their daughter.....
