Origin & Lore

Roses have been the flower of love since antiquity, sacred to Aphrodite among the Greeks and Venus among the Romans. In folk magick and hoodoo, rose is used for love, romance, reconciliation and beauty. This oil carries the rose of Venus for all of these.

The Romans hung a rose over a meeting to show that whatever was said beneath it must be kept secret, which is where the phrase sub rosa comes from.

Greek myth tells that the red rose sprang from the blood of Adonis, or from Aphrodite’s own blood when she pricked herself running to him. Roman feasts were scattered with rose petals, and the rose became, in Christian symbolism, the flower of the Virgin Mary and the rosary.
