ROSE
The rose is one of the
oldest flowers known to man,
and still one of the most
popular. Nebuchadnezzar
used them to adorn his
palace and in Persia, where
they were grown for their
perfume oil, the petals were
used to fill the Sultan's
mattress. In Kashmir the
Moghul emperors cultivated
beautiful rose gardens and
roses were strewn in the
river to welcome them on
their return home. Roses
later became synonymous with
the worst excesses of the
Roman empire - the peasants
were reduced to growing
roses instead of food crops
in order to satisfy the
demands of their rulers.
The emperors filled their
swimming baths and fountains
with rose-water and sat on
carpets of rose petals for
their feasts and orgies.
Helipgabalus used to enjoy
showering his guests with
rose petals which tumbled
down from the ceiling during
the festivities.
The Rose is the flower of
love. It was created by
Chloris, the Greek goddess
of flowers, out of the
lifeless body of a nymph
which she found one day in a
clearing in the woods. She
asked the help of Aphrodite,
the goddess of love, who
gave her beauty; Dionysus,
the god of wine, added
nectar to give her a sweet
scent, and the three Graces
gave her charm, brightness
and joy. Then Zephyr, the
West Wind, blew away the
clouds so that Apollo, the
sun god, could shine and
make the flower bloom. And
so the Rose was born and was
immediately crowned Queen of
Flowers.
Smelling a rose is proven to cause a chemical change that will enlighten your
mood! Make this a daily routine!
