Rose is the Birth Flower of June

Rose is a unique flower which combines adorable beauty with unapproachability. In Greek mythology rose was considered to be a symbol of love and passion. It was an emblem of the goddess of love Aphrodite (Roman Venus). It was believed that when she was coming out of the ocean the foam that surrounded her turned into beautiful rose petals. It is interesting to know that according to one of the legends the first color of roses was white. Amour spilled red wine on white roses during his dance and they changed their color into red. Another legend tells how thorns appeared on the stem. When Amour was smelling the rose, a bee bit him. He got angry and shot the flower from his bow. Since then roses have thorns. Another old story tells that during the times of Adam and Eva roses didnt have thorns at all. And when Eva kissed white rose it blushed from the pleasure and turned red.
