ROSES

“The rose represents love, magic, hope and the mystery of life itself… The flower’s mysterious association date to the earliest civilizations – the Persian word for rose, gul also meant ‘flower’ and was close to ghul, the word for ‘spirit.’”                                                   —Diana Wells, 100 Flowers and How they Got Their Names
