The beautiful rose is the namesake of this vibrant autobiography that shares details about our most recognizable flower.

A red flower named Rose tells how bees pollinated her mother, forming a seed which grew into a new rose bush where she lives with her brothers and sisters.

This title tells the wonderful history and mythology behind your favourite flowers. 40 of the most well known flowers in our gardens are collected here and their origins, myths and legends are told.

The story is about the beauty of God's creation and framed upon the conversations among girls and their mothers on the theme of flowers; it also includes the botany on water lilly, daffodil, clover, moss-pink, thyme, wildflower, thistle, mignonette, and wintergreen.

"In its most basic form, the rosary is a series of prayers and meditations designed to bring the worshiper closer to God through the Virgin Mary. But, as Anne Winston-Allen shows, there was no single text of the rosary prayer: different versions, some in German and some in Latin, evolved over the course of the late Middle Ages as communities of believers experimented with their own forms. She also finds that rosary prayers were influenced by secular, even courtly literature that used images of the rose and rose garden; in the rosary, Mary is the Mystical Rose.".
