Since ancient times roses have been cultivated by man, and the spread of these plants across the world was probably due to the high value placed upon the fruits of the roses; the Rose Hips, rather than the roses themselves. Today Mayesh brings to the floral trade cultivated Rose Hip as a popular ornamental accent for fall arrangements.
Wonderful bright red and orange fruits, Rose Hips may be employed to great effect in fall arrangements, having the added advantage of being extremely hardy and retaining their color and vibrancy for some time, which makes them most appropriate in fall arrangements. Added to wreaths and centerpieces this floral fruit will make your fall designs more exciting.
As folklore goes, the Roman Catholic religion, assumed the roses as their own, giving it a prized place in their lore. At the center of their monasteries would be found a cloistered garden of peace and tranquility, a virtual Eden: The Rosarium. From these gardens evolved one of the most potent symbols of Catholicism; the Rosary. The early rosary beads were thought to be made from Rose Hips, and then later, carved from rosewood, and the practice of counting the Rosary is believed to have arisen from the discipline of meditating in the Rosarium.
