Description
Love these roses ... their coloring gives the appearance of having a light inside of them. It also highlights the velvety softness of the petals. I had to blur the the surrounding background as the coloring reminded me of a rug that my Aunt Belle had in her home that had that color of a background with those type of roses on the foreground. When I was little, I thought it was so beautiful. Which as I grew older, it really was ... a true testament to Victorian taste and romanticism in decor. She passed away at the age of 95 when I was in my early 20's. I don't know what became of that rug, but oh what I wouldn't do to have it now ... not for it's value, but the memories of playing on it as a child. For those are more precious to me than the monetary value of it.
Rose: � (love � remembrance � beauty)
The rose is always associated with love and romance. Roses were introduced to Europe during the Roman Empire and predominantly used for decoration. Roses were first cultivated 5,000 years ago in Asian gardens, and Confucius declared that the emperor of China owned more than 600 books on the cultivation of roses. It is thought that the name Rose is a short form of a Germanic name which contained the word Roses are emblems of England and New York City. It is thought the name rose has Germanic origins.
