Rose

Encyclopedia of Herbs

When Cleopatra invited Mark Anthony to her palace,she had the floors covered knee-deep in rose petals; such was her belief in the romantic powers of their perfume. Cleopatra won Anthony's affections easily, and in part, at least, she can thank the fragrance of roses and their exquisite beauty, Roses captivate anyone who look on them or breathes their perfume. Perhaps it is our love affair with roses that has inspired us to define them as the greatest symbol of love and beauty.
