Rose des Bois

The rose is the most widely grown flower in the world, leading to a certain ambiguity in the symbolism that surrounds it. Yet if there is a reason why this Queen of Flowers – as the rose is known – is so coveted, it is surely its close association with love and weddings.

A floral and powdery scent: akin in fragrance and perfection to a wild rose, growing in humid woodland, tentatively illuminated by some hopeful rays of sun as they push their way through the scattered clouds.
