Medicinal uses of the rose: Long ago rose petals were used to control bleeding because they contain an astringent called tannin.
Making spirits happy:To please the spirits of the dead many rich Romans grew huge rose gardens to provide petals for their grave sites. Scorpion repellent: It was thought by some Ancients that they could drive away scorpions by using a strong external concoction made of Delphinium flowers.
