Kristin Rosenberg: Canary Bird Rose Known as "Queen of the Flowers," the rose, with its distinctive fragrance, myriad colors and rich history, is one of nature's most spectacular garden delights. Derived from the genus Rosa, many varieties and species of roses have been developed over the centuries. It is believed that China was the first country to cultivate this elegant flower over 2000 years ago. In ancient Greece, roses were grown for their beauty, medicinal purposes and perfume. During the Roman Empire, private rose gardens were created for the enjoyment of the nobility, and public gardens for the populace. When the empire fell, roses were primarily grown in monastery gardens for use in herbal remedies. The beauty and decorative qualities of the rose could not remain obscure for long, and it soon began to be cultivated once more for its ornamentation. By the height of the Renaissance, the rose had become the centerpiece of flower gardens throughout Europe. Artwork Copyright © 1978 Unicover Corporation.
