Cabbage Rose
It is not beauty that endears, it’s love that makes us see beauty.
Leo Tolstoy
The rose is often thought of as the symbol of love. Its beauty and fragrance earn the status of Queen of Flowers. The cabbage or cottage rose is often referred to as the Ambassador of Love.
In mythology, a single rose was known to surpass the beauty of Venus, the goddess of love. This flower’s enchanting grace has been honored by the words of poets, writers, philosophers and musicians alike.
The scent of a rose can transport us to memories and connect our hearts to those we’ve loved. Love and nostalgic joy only deepens our vision of the stunning beauty.
