June is Rose Month

Romeo and Juliet. Titanic. Alice and Wonderland. Beauty and the Beast. What do these famous titles have in common? Roses! If you’ve ever read or watched these books and films, you will notice how roses play a significant role.

In Romeo and Juliet, this is the time when Juliet is contemplating whether or not she should fall in love with the romantic Romeo. She says, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

In Titanic, the titular character is named Rose. She even represents a red rose throughout the film. Full of passion and love!

In Alice and Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts loves roses. The interesting part comes when she orders her army of cards to paint the white roses red, and then Alice comes along and begins to help.

Then lastly in Beauty and the Beast, everything that the characters loved about their old life was at stake if the petals of a singular rose fell off, and if the Beast couldn’t find true love, then they were stuck with their new life as objects.

As you can see, Roses have played a major role throughout our pop culture and history. One historic moment to note is from November 20, 1986, when our 40th president, Ronald Reagan, declared that the rose was to become the National Floral Emblem. He said,

“Americans have always loved the flowers with which God decorates our land. More often than any other flower, we hold the rose dear as the symbol of life and love and devotion, of beauty and eternity. For the love of man and woman, for the love of mankind and God, for the love of country, Americans who would speak the language of the heart do so with a rose.”

The love for roses has grown so much that we dedicate an entire month to this special flower. So what’s the best way to celebrate National Rose Month?
