Noble flowers: The four noble plants of the ancient Chinese were the Chrysanthemum, the Orchid, the bamboo, and the plum, and therefore only the upper class Chinese were permitted to grow them in their gardens.
Roses to heal:The Chinese used to use rose oil and rose water to remedy problems with the stomach and colon. Medicinal uses of the rose: Long ago rose petals were used to control bleeding because they contain an astringent called tannin.
