Could a book by any other name smell as sweet? The rose is the world's favorite flower--and always has been. Absolutely not.
In this book, Catherine Horwood traces the botanical, religious, literary, and artistic journeys of the rose across the centuries, from battles to bridal bouquets.From Cleopatra's rose petal-filled bed to Nijinsky's Spectre de la Rose, from the highly prized Attar of Rose oil so beloved by the ancient Persians to the rosy scents of top perfume labels today, from Shakespearean myths about the War of the Roses to the significance of roses in Queen Elizabeth I's embroidered dresses, and even to blockade-running during the Napoleonic Wars to It is our greatest floral symbol of love and romance, and it is a bloom that touches our hearts as the flower most often chosen to celebrate significant milestones--weddings, anniversaries, births, and indeed, deaths.
