The queen of love is a rose
Rose is a flower of stunning beauty, which since ancient times possessed a magical attraction and even some kind of love mysticism. There were times when roses were worshiped and chanted.
The ancient Greeks decorated brides' clothes with roses and showered the winners. Noble and very wealthy people took baths with rose petals, and wore rose wreaths on their heads. Even during excavations, archaeologists have found coins on which there were images of roses.
In mythology, there is evidence that the rose was a symbol of passion, desire and love, as it was the sign of Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
One of the legends said that the rose bloom began when Aphrodite was born. And it was at the very moment when she first came out of the sea waves to the shore, her body was strewn with drops of water, which began to turn into scarlet roses. No wonder the temples that were built in honor of the goddess were decorated with these flowers.
Artists, poets and writers glorify roses and to this day in most poems about love, the beautiful flower of love - a rose - is always mentioned.
