The Story Of The Rose
But what makes this shrub so special? Why has the rose become so popular, especially in modern times? There are many theories surrounding the rose's rise to prominence, and most are based on myth and stories of the heart. The fact remains that roses offer so much more to the giver and to the receiver than just the simple act of giving and receiving.
The rose itself is a flowering shrub from the Rosa family. The flower of this shrub is called the rose. There are over one hundred species of roses and these are all indigenous to the northern hemisphere regions. However, roses are planted everywhere around the world.
This is mainly due to the fact that they are so adaptable to many soil types and also due to the fact that there is always a massive demand for roses all year round.
So, when is the best time to give roses? The amazing thing is that there is never a bad time to give someone a bunch of roses or even just a single rose. Roses say so much more than any other gift. They surpass chocolates, jewellery and other material possessions. They can be given on any occasion. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Valentine's Day. Mother's Day. Even for no occasion at all.
The rose in itself is an anomaly. What makes this flower any more special than daisies or blossoms? What gives this thorny plant the stature that it has so proudly borne for all these years? The answer lies in its symbolism. Each flower symbolises something different. Something unique. The rose is the queen of all flowers. Although the rose is often portrayed as red, it comes in many other colours. The red rose symbolises passion and fervour. The yellow rose is a symbol of understatement, and these are given to tell someone that you are intersected.
Roses have even been cultivated to add to food and health products. Many top beauty ranges carry rose scented body washes and fragrances. Rose flavoured tea is also a firm favourite in many cultures, and rose petals have been hailed to have amazing healing properties for many centuries across many different civilizations.
Dried out rose petals are also commonplace in many households as an aesthetic touch. Rose bushes are also planted in many gardens and there is a very special art to maintaining these beautiful plants. Many people even cultivate roses just to enter into competitions.
There is so much that a bunch of roses can say. The art is to give a bunch of roses not only on special occasions, but also to say someone special that you are thinking of them at even the most unexpected time.

The Story of Roses in History
For four thousand years and more the world has extolled the rose as Nature's superb floral creation. Dean Hole said "Her supremacy has been acknowledged, like Truth itself, always, everywhere, by all." From Sappho to modern times all poets have lauded the beauty and perfume of the rose; their highest praise of beauty has often been expressed by comparison with it.
Roses flourished in the gardens of Babylon earlier than 2000 B.C. The Greeks and Romans used the rose at their feasts and in symbols both as decoration and as a charm against many evils, including alcoholic intoxication. Rose blooms were sold in large numbers from extensive gardens devoted entirely to their culture.
Garlands of roses were hung at all rejoicings and heads were crowned with rose wreaths. Rose petals were lavishly strewn on beds and floors, and in the paths of favoured people. Cleopatra, in her magnificence, had rose petals eighteen inches deep on her floors. Huge sums of money were spent in purchasing blooms and petals; Nero is said to have spent the equivalent of about 80,000 for roses for one feast alone.
Wines, conserves, perfumes, oils, medicines, lotions, embalming agents, adornments, honours the rose came to be used for them all. Rose-water was the only perfume for centuries, and it was also used for washing and purifying.
We find references to the rose in writings of all Northern Hemisphere lands England, America, China, Persia, India, Iceland, Lapland, Russia, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Syria, Greece, and Egypt and among them all there is never a questioning of the supremacy of "the Queen of Flowers". This title was first bestowed by Sappho, about 600 B.C., in the following words:
The Rose (mankind will agree),
The Rose the Queen of Flowers should be;
The pride of plants, the grace of bowers,
The blush of meads, the eye of flowers;
Its beauties charm the gods above;
Its fragrance is the breath of love.
In the Authorized Version of the Bible the rose is mentioned only twice "I am the rose of Sharon" (Song of Solomon ii. 1), and ". . . the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose" (Isaiah xxxv. 1) but the word "rose" does not, in either case, refer to any member of the botanical group genus Rosa. Some authorities identify it with Narcissus tazetta, a sweetly scented flower of a bulbous plant, others with Hibiscus syriacus and others with Hypericum calycinum.
In Egypt the rose appears to have been unknown until about 300 B.C., but it gradually replaced the lotus as the most favoured flower. It had probably been taken to Egypt by the Greeks. Many Egyptian tombs dating from A.D. 100 to 300 have been found containing garlands of roses, rosebuds, and rose petals. They have usually been pink and white, but occasionally there have been single yellow blooms, probably R. foetida, the Yellow Austrian Briar.
Feasting and intoxication were disapproved by the Church of Rome, and the rose fell into ecclesiastical disfavour for many years because of its association with these excesses. Later it was used frequently as an emblem. The Golden Rose of the Church of Rome, dating from the fourteenth century, is blessed by the Pope on Laetare Sunday and is occasionally bestowed on persons or institutions of special merit in the Roman Catholic faith. In the Middle Ages, roses were used in crowning priests, wreathing candles, and adorning shrines.
Ever since, the rose has been used in times of celebration. In fact it is the flower for all occasions, and will continue to be so.
