Queen of the Flowers

 
Since before the Roman times, the rose was appreciated and venerated for its beautiful flower and exquisite perfume. It has developed into the most incredible variety of shapes, colours and fragrances. The spectrum goes from the simple and elegant wild roses with their traditional soft colours and intense smell, to the modern brightly coloured hybrids, which are the result of cross breeding several species of roses. A native of Persia, it migrated to India, and since the Crusades many varieties of rose can be found in Europe. It has a long tradition and is known as "the queen of flowers".The rose is the lotus flower of the West and it symbolizes the flower of love and is the emblem of inner development that leads to perfection. The quality of this perfection is shown in the combination of shapes, colours and perfumes of the rose and all engendered a positive healing effect simply by looking at them.

I.e.: A young Persian girl told me the following anecdote in a market: "When at home there was something wrong with Grandma, she was upset and the atmosphere was charged, Grandfather quietly placed a posy of roses under her pillow. Shortly after, everything returned to normal”. This is one of the many signs that roses act at the heart level.
