Universal symbol of beauty and love, roses are cultivated for more than three thousand years, symbolizing, when white, the most innocent love, and when red, a love more intense and passionate. Pink roses symbolize a simpler and happier love, while the yellow ones represent friendship, ambition and jealousy.
"Rose" is a word derived from the Greek, rondon, which means red. Its most curious name, "dog rose" or "canine rose" comes from the use of the plant for the treatment of rabid dogs. Another curiosity about the roses is that, during the period of World War II, English soldiers and civilians used it as a natural supplement for vitamin C replacement.
