Party roses in action: Nero arranged to have rose petals rain down from the ceiling of his banquet halls during lavish dinner parties in Rome.
Named for fighters:Gladiolus flowers got their name because the leaves of the plant were shaped like a sword and made them think of the Roman gladiators. Friends in the rose garden: Roses like to have other companion plants such as garlic, onions, marigolds, mignonettes, and thyme in the garden with them.
