Forbidden flower: Clement of Alexandra forbade Christians to adorn themselves with roses because they were thought to be a symbol of paganism, orgy, and lust.
Beginning the rose garden:Early spring is the best time to put out roses grown in nursery containers and late winter is the best time to plant bare-root roses. Flower attire at weddings: A crown of lilies and wheat is worn by brides in Greece to symbolize purity and abundance.
