Roses are still a firm favourite in the flower stakes.
An ancient symbol of love and beauty, the rose is just as highly treasured today as it was millennia ago by ancient civilisations. Sacred to several goddesses such as Isis, Aphrodite and Venus and also used as a symbol of the Virgin Mary, roses date back to well before the birth of Christ. Rose means pink or red in a variety of languages, including Greek and Polish.

A perennial flower shrub or vine of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae, there are more than 100 species, thousands of hybrids and a huge array of colours with more being bred every year. Most roses are native to Asia although a few originated in Europe, North America, and northwest Africa.
