Rose (symbolism) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Rose (symbolism)
Roses have been long used as symbols in a number of societies. Roses are ancient symbols of love and beauty. "Rose" means pink or red in a variety of languages (such as the Romance languages and Greek). ==The Classical Era== The rose was sacred to a number of goddesses including Isis, whose rose appears in the late classical allegorical novel ''The Golden Ass'' as "the sweet Rose of reason and virtue" that saves the hero from his bewitched life in the form of a donkey.〔http://www.jnanam.net/golden-ass/〕 The ancient Greeks and Romans identified the rose with the goddess of love, Aphrodite (Greek name) and Venus (Roman name). In Rome a wild rose would be placed on the door of a room where secret or confidential matters were discussed. The phrase ''sub rosa'', or "under the rose", means to keep a secret — derived from this ancient Roman practice.
