Gardening Roses for Everyone!
'The Rose is a Rose is a Rose ... and by any other name would smell as sweet.'
Rose History, Colors and Symbolic MeaningsRoses have thrived and evolved for eons....likely enjoyed by beings of prehistoric times, long before modern homo sapiens were a twinkle in the eye of the universe. Rose symbolism has encompassed many concepts through the ages. The meaning of roses has at different times in history served as a symbol of peace, passion, friendship, courage, joy, sympathy, romance or beauty. The colors of roses through time have evolved special meanings and become a special rose language all their own -- the red rose long esteemed as a special emblem of Love. |
"The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love
O, the red rose is a Falcon,
And the white rose is a Dove."
But I send you a cream-white rose bud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.
~ John Boyle O'Reilly - 1844-1890
Derived from the Latin term 'rosa', the Romans as well as the Greeks entwined the lovely rose with their Goddesses of Love, Aphrodite and Venus. No wonder then, that the wonders of the Rose have so long been prized as a banner of love and celebrated in prose and rhyme for centuries. |
“The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart."

Growing Roses with Purpose
On the practical side, roses are valued for the breathtaking beauty they bring to the home landscape. Gardening roses can be employed to cover unsightly views with welcome color and texture to delight the eye. They will ramble and multiply to adorn an extensive yardscape, making maintenance of large areas easier, while painting a stunning natural canvas.

“The perfume of roses are like exquisite chords of music
composed of many odor notes
harmoniously blended."

Indeed, growing roses can touch the artistic essence in each of us, inspire and make our hearts sing!
