When the suitors rushed into the gate of the temple to get close to their beloved Rodin, Di Anna turned Rodin into a rose and her suitors into thorns in a rage.

In Greek legend, the rose was created by Croce, the Greek flower god. At first, the rose was just a lifeless seed of the fairy in the forest. One day, Cross, the goddess of flowers, came across it in a clearing in the forest. Cross asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to give it a beautiful appearance; Dionysus, the god of wine, spilled wine, which made it fragrant. The other three goddesses endowed it with charm, wisdom and joy. Then, the west wind god blew away the clouds, and Apollo, the sun god, was able to shine on it and make it blossom. The rose was born in this way and was immediately named the queen of flowers.

This kind of rose should have fragrant smell, strong disease resistance, long flowering period, slender stems, graceful posture, pure red color and no fading. However, absolute perfection has never been achieved, and certainly it will never be achieved!
