The Plant

And Rose, has she lived but the time which roses live?"" wrote François Malherbe. But the fossil record indicates they have been with us for some 40 million years. The rose and its beauty may very well have preceded man on the earth, as if to get prepare itself for the passions he would bring to her, the care with which he would surround her, and the unrelenting conversation he would have with her. Rose in its innumerable varieties is universally cherished, and its perfume remains the gold standard of the olfactory world.
