"Love is much like a Wild Rose, Beautiful and Calm, but willing to draw blood in it's Defense."
-Mark Overby
The origin of the word “rose” comes from rosa –a Latin word used to describe the same flower. It is interesting to note however that the term rosa was derived from a Persian root word which later on gave rise to the French term julep which means rose water.
