| A
potted history of roses. |
| Roses have long
been associated with love, beauty and
war. According to fossil evidence, roses
have been around for roughly 35 million
years and there are more than 150 species
spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
Cultivation of roses began in China
around 5,000 years ago. Roses were grown
throughout the Middle East during Roman
times, used as confetti at celebrations,
for medicinal purposes, and as a source
of perfume. Romans were particularly
fond of roses and created large public
rose gardens in the south of Rome. |
| In fifteenth century
England, the rose was used as a symbol
of opposing factions in The War of the
Roses. The white rose symbolized York,
and the red rose symbolized Lancaster. |
| Introduced
in the late eighteenth century to Europe
from China most European cultivated
roses can be traced back to this ancestry.
Roses have remained immensely popular
and are now grown on a huge scale to
satisfy the public's demand for this
symbol of love and romance. |
