Roses

The rose, perhaps more than any other flower, seems to invest poetic and iconographic language to reflect the beauty of the world: prints from China, cotton from Liberty, wallpaper patterns from William Morris, watercolors from Rennie Mackintosh and even photographs from Edward Steichen illustrate the diversity of representations of this flower, whose harmonious design and brevity of flowering have made it a symbol of the fragile beauty of life.
