Roses are classically beautiful flowers that have captivated people for centuries. They’ve inspired countless poets, writers, composers, songwriters and artists over the years.
“The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.”
– Paulo Coelho

Some historical facts about roses …
Roses are used for symbolic, medicinal, and decorative purposes across various civilizations, with tens of thousands of varieties available today.
China
Roses have been cultivated in China for centuries (about 5,000 years), with the China Rose (Rosa chinensis) being a foundational species, introducing key traits like repeat blooming (everblooming) and diverse colors to Western rose breeding, revolutionizing gardens globally.
Greece
According to Greek mythology, the goddess of flowers, Chloris, created a new flower by breathing life into a woodland nymph who had died. Dionysus, the god of wine and plant life gave it a beautiful perfume, and Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and pleasure, gave the rose its name by rearranging the letters of Eros, her son and the god of love and desire. The Greek poet Sappho wrote, “Ode to the Rose,” symbolizing that this flower is the “Queen of flowers”. This sentiment has been expressed many times over the centuries.
Rome
However, few cultures reveled in the admiration of roses like the Romans. In Roman homes, petals had been used to carpet the floors, to fill bathwater, to drop as confetti at parties, and even to eat. Also, a rose hanging from the ceiling of a civic meeting symbolized secrecy and the content of the meeting was to be kept confidential outside the walls. The Romans grew roses extensively in large public gardens. Rosa alba was in the gardens of nobles and monks in medieval Europe, widely thought to have been spread there by visiting Romans. In the same fashion, every medieval monastery had its botanist monk, cultivating roses alongside other plants and herbs used in religious ceremonies.
Egypt
Similarly, Ancient Egyptians highly valued roses for beauty, love, perfume, medicine, and rituals. They used them in tombs, garlands for pharaohs, cosmetics for skin, as well as offerings to gods. Cleopatra famously used them for displays of passion and luxury, symbolizing beauty, devotion, and sexuality. Integral to both daily life and the afterlife, roses had signified divine presence and earthly perfection.
England
War of the Roses: in 15th-century England, the white rose of York and the red rose of Lancaster became the symbols for the factions fighting for the throne. During the Victorian Era, roses exploded in popularity, becoming central to floriography, the secret language of flowers, where colors and arrangements conveyed messages of love, friendship, and secrecy due to strict social norms against open affection. Correspondingly, this era saw peak rose cultivation, with new hybrid varieties like Hybrid Teas emerging, making them fashionable garden staples.
