Mother Nature created flowers as an embodiment of beauty, which should be amazing as an unsurpassed art. Man turns to them both in joy and in sorrow. There is no end to the riches and variety of colors, but the crown of creation is a rose. It was the inspiration of many poets and artists. Many ancient legends, legends and songs that magnify it as a flower of unique beauty, love and tenderness have come down to our days.
For example, the ancient Greeks dedicated a rose to the goddess of love Aphrodite, whose temples were drowned in rose gardens. In ancient Rome, the rose was a reward for courage, and the triumphal path was strewn with pink petals. At Greeks the rose still meant sadness, a regret about the left youth, irrevocable past. The white rose was a symbol of silence: with an important conversation to the ceiling, a white rose was hung or painted its image, which meant that all that was said was a mystery. The rose was grown in large numbers and worshiped it, revered it. Ancient Greek naturalist Theophastus in the lll century BC described various methods of breeding roses: the division of the bush and seeds, and also mentioned a rose with 100 petals. But Seneca knew that hot water promotes the fastest opening of the buds of roses.
From Persia to Kievan Rus roses were brought in the X-XI centuries. In those days, only amateur gardeners engaged in rosewood, and only a privileged person could meet a rose. The present variety of varieties, the abundance of unique types of roses – the result of many years of painstaking work of breeders of all time, their search and finding. For example, the first yellow patch rose was bred in 1900 by a French breeder Joseph Pernet, who crossed different varieties of roses with a wild yellow dog rose for 10 years.
