Rose Bouquet

A rose by any other name… The Greek philosopher, Sappho declared the rose to be the “Queen of Flowers”. Romans revered the blossom so much that they filled their bed pillows with the sweet smelling petals. Oh, doesn’t that sound wonderful? I think I would love to lie upon a bed of rose petals! Later, the Victorians chose the rose to symbolize “love” in the language of flowers. Even today, the rose is still a flower lover’s favorite. With wedding season upon us, I’m sure you will see the rose bridal bouquet is the first choice of the contemporary bride.
