Roses
.
Roses have had an important place in
our hearts throughout history.
From the ancient Greeks linking the rose
to the Goddess of love to the Middle
Ages where rosaries were made from rose
hips. Roses have long symbolized
love and beauty and are famed for their
fragrance and healing properties.
Today many wonder where the scent of
the rose went? Today's roses for the
most part have had been cultivated with
little to no scent allowing those with
sensitivity or allergies to roses to
enjoy their beauty. Many of us
miss the intoxicating scent of the rose.
All is not lost, the beautiful garden
rose has that very sweet scent you have
been missing and is available as a cut
flower, not just in your garden. David Austin's exquisite garden roses
with their lush layered petals bring
back to mind that romantic rose with the
most delightful scent. These highly
sought after roses are breathtaking in
their beauty and fragrance and are a
delight to the senses. They have become
one of our favorites flowers to work
with brides who appreciate the elegance
of this flower, the nod to the past and
the romantic feeling they evoke.
