Our love of, and fascination with the rose dates back millennia –
from its beauty (considered by many to be the most exquisite of all the flowers)…
to its diversity (thousands of varieties that have originated from over a hundred wild species)…
to its medicinal properties (it has been used to treat many diseases throughout history)…
to its essence (rose syrup, rose petal jam or jelly, rose honey, rose candy…)…
to its cosmetic properties (rose water is still popular today in beauty products)…
to its religious importance (some rose varieties are especially significant in Orthodox Christianity)..
and not forgetting its enthralling fragrance (there are over 2 dozen rose scents: queens, and kings, have famously used rose petals and oil as part of elaborate welcoming – and seduction – rituals).
