Season 6: Garden Flowers- Roses: La Vie En Rose
Description
Welcome to our latest season of PlantStories, Garden Flowers! In an effort to reconnect with Spring, we're looking at some of the world's most famous garden flowers and what they mean to us. Up first is the Rose. The most classic of all flowers, it's been with us longer than most people can remember and has stood the test of time when it comes to representing flowers everywhere.
So just how old is the rose? We think you'd be suprised. It's roots go straight back to our History of Houseplants episode (which if you haven't listened to already is definately worth your time), and it's probably one of the oldest ornamental plants we know of. But beyond being beautiful, it has been the talk of everything from Greek myths to modern day poetry. At one point they were even considered on par with money! Come join us today as we learn about the flower that tinted our life beautiful.
