The Story of Rose
Rose
Botanical Herb
Rosa spp.
Rose has been cherished throughout history as a botanical of love, compassion and the open heart. More than a symbol of romance, its beauty and fragrance remind us to live with tenderness, courage and appreciation.
Associated with emotional healing and heartfelt connection, rose invites compassion, forgiveness and acceptance, while reminding us that vulnerability and strength can exist together.
For centuries, rose petals have been used in teas, syrups, oils and skincare, while fragrant rose water has been treasured across many cultures. In folklore and mythology, the rose has symbolised love, devotion, hope and beauty - a flower that holds both the softness of its petals and the protection of its thorns.
