No flower has stirred the imagination and passions of poets and romantics quite like the rose. Going back to at least the 28th century B.C., when it was first cultivated in China, the rose has figured prominently in the art, culture, medicine and food of the great civilizations of Asia, Europe and Africa. There are countless myths and legends intertwined with gods, kings, and saints. The rose is a symbol of love, and of compassion, friendship and honour; and as Charlemagne decreed, it ought to grow in every garden. Modern hybrids are generally lacking of much scent, and are not much use for potpourris, toiletries, and perfumes, so the old-fashioned fragrant varieties are coming back. Our rose collection includes some of the most endearing old-fashioned cultivars and species roses.
