The love of the simplistic, aromatic Rose dates back centuries.
Petrified rose wreaths have been found in the tombs of
the ancient Egyptians. In Greek mythology, the Goddess
Aphrodite has the rose dedicated to her. According to
the myth, it was Aphrodite herself who caused roses to be red.
Upon seeing her true love Adonis mortally wounded, she
ran to him and in her haste scratched herself on the thorns
of some roses. As her blood fell on the mythical white blooms
they became stained, ever more to remain red. To this
day, red roses remain a lovers token.
 Back in the days of the early Greeks & Romans, roses
were used to fragrance both themselves and their houses.
They worshipped the flower,
using the petals to carpet the floor on the occasions of
great banquets. They belived them to be a great
aphrodisiac, floating petals in their wine. Later on in
history, Napoleon's wife Josephine had her husband's troops
collect roses from every destination, ordering them to be
delivered to her in Paris.

The Persians found a way of extracting pure rose oil from certain
varieties, and even today there are distilleries devoted to
obtaining it. Cosmetically, the oil of the rose, is known to
regenerate skin. It has a beneficial effect upon the moisture
content of the skin, and is useful in treating sensitive skin
prone to small broken veins. The rose above all, promotes a
feeling of well being. It is a remedy for both skin and soul.
With its intoxicating aroma and tender, fragile beauty, the
purifying rose is arguably superior to all the scents
in the floral realm.
