In Ancient Times/Ancient Story: " Many cultures throughout history have used Rose for a myriad of different reasons. This includes the Romans, Greeks, Ancient Egyptians, as well as several regions of the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Africa.
In Rome among the gardens of Tarquin the Superb, multiple varieties of this delicate flower were grown, and the gardener was revered by the whole city. Similarly, the Greeks venerated the Rose, with Sappho naming it as the queen of flowers.
In the late 1900’s, rose essential oil was being produced and sold all over the world, with Bulgaria being the largest manufacturer, and America the primary distributor. Turkey, France, Morocco, India and China also grow and sell rose oil and rose scented products."
Ancient Usage: The Romans used to scatter rose petals from the ceilings during banquets, and over carpets and tables during feasts and other gatherings, as well as using roses to embellish statues portraying their favored gods and goddesses. In ancient Egypt, Roses were used in religious ceremonies and burials, the flower being found in many tombs and burial sites. Prior to the French Revolution, roses were being distilled for rosewater, with rose oil being a fortunate derivative. In Europe during the Middle Ages, the flower was grown for medicinal usage in monastery gardens.
Ancient Beliefs: "In book 23 of Homer’s epic “The Iliad”, it is said that Achilles, who killed Hector, son of the King carried a shield covered with roses. It also mentions Hector’s body being anointed with rose oil before embalmment by Aphrodite. In mythology, Aphrodite is credited with the Rose’s blood red hue. It is said that when she saw her lover Adonis mortally wounded, she ran to him and scratched herself on the thorn of a Rose, her blood forever staining the flower’s petals. This is likely where it gained its infamy as the lover’s flower. The Romans believed that wearing Roses on their person could shield one from drunkenness, while some wore it as a fragrance, believing it to attract lovers by inducing love, romance, seduction, and desire. Cleopatra and Josephine Bonaparte are just two of the many seductresses throughout history to utilize this powerful aphrodisiac."
