Throughout history roses have been loved the world-over. The Greeks have a story that has not just one god creating this flower but several gods and goddesses making it. The Romans imported roses from China and they became a status symbol for the wealthy. They used the petals as confetti, put them into bath water, filled rooms with them to be used like carpets and used them in many other ways including religious ceremonies. Everyone who saw Gladiator remembers all the red rose petals showering down over the arena floor.
England continued this love of roses, they even made it the national symbol. All over America there are Rosevilles, Rosewoods, Roseviews and any other way you can name a town after a rose. America even made June the National rose month.
Today you can buy roses any time of year and in almost any color. An arrangement of all roses in a vase is classic but a few roses also look great as the focal point in a mixed bouquet. Roses are not every girl’s favorite flower but I don’t know of any girl that will complain if they get a beautiful bouquet of roses as a gift.
