Whether it sprang from the blood of Venus, the blood of Adonis, or the sweat of Mohammed, the rose, "Queen of the Flowers", is certainly immemorial. According to Greek myth, the rose was created when the goddess of flowers found the lifeless body of a nymph in the woods. With the help of the Gods, she transformed the nymph into a flower. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, gave the nymph beauty; Dionysus, the god of wine, added nectar to give her a sweet scent, and the three Graces bestowed upon her charm, brightness and joy. Then Zephyr 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 the Flowers".
In ancient Rome, the rose became a symbol of love and beauty, but also a symbol of secrecy, when Cupid offered a rose to try to bribe the God's silence on the subject of Venus's amorous escapades. Roman dining room ceilings were often decorated with roses, reminding guests to be discreet about the evening's dinner conversation.
People have been passionate about roses since the beginning of time. It is said that the floors of Cleopatra's palace were carpeted with delicate rose petals, and until the early 19th century, dried rose petals were believed to have mysterious healing powers. Napoleon gave his officers bags of rose petals to boil in white wine, to cure various ailments. Rose water is still used to refresh the hands, before a feast or festive greeting, in many countries around the world.
