Making spirits happy: To please the spirits of the dead many rich Romans grew huge rose gardens to provide petals for their grave sites.
Flowers throughout life:In modern times, people have sought ways to cultivate, buy, wear, or just be around flowers and blooming plants, partly because of their agreeable smell. Around the world, florists sell flowers for a wide range of events and functions that, cumulatively, encompass one's lifetime. Medicinal uses of the rose: Long ago rose petals were used to control bleeding because they contain an astringent called tannin.
