In 3000 B.C., in what is now Iraq, the Sumerians created the first written
record of the rose.
Sappho, in her 600 B.C. "Ode to the Rose," referred to this beautiful flower
as the queen of flowers, a reference still popular today.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet."
--From Romeo and Juliet - 1595 - Act II. - Scene 2
