There is a special rose language invented as a secret means of communication between lovers who were not allowed to express their love for one another openly. In the mid 18th century the wife of the British ambassador in Constantinople described this in her letters, which were published after her death. These letters inspired many books on the language of flowers, each describing the secret message hidden in each flower. A red rose bud stands for budding desire? an open white rose asks “Will you love me﹖ An open red rose means “I’m full of love and desire, while an open yellow rose asks “Don’t you love me any more﹖
玫瑰的传说
人类有史以来就钟情于玫瑰。据说,克娄巴特拉的宫殿的地面就铺满了娇嫩的玫瑰花瓣,博学的孔子有600册藏书专门讲述如何培育玫瑰。
玫瑰本身就是一个传说。在罗马帝国时代,有一个名叫罗丹斯的美丽绝伦的少女。她的丽姿引来了无数狂热的求婚者锲而不舍地追求她。罗丹斯实在招架不住了,不得不到朋友狄安娜的神庙里躲避她的求婚者。不幸的是,狄安娜产生了嫉妒之心。当求婚者冲进了神庙的大门,要接近他们所爱恋着的罗丹斯时,狄安娜一怒之下将罗丹斯变成了一枝玫瑰花,将她的求婚者变成了花刺。
在希腊传说中,玫瑰是希腊花神克罗斯创造的。当初玫瑰只是林中一个仙女的尚无生命的一粒种子。一天,花神克罗斯偶然在森林的一块空地上发现了它。克罗斯请求爱神阿佛洛狄特赋予了它美丽的容貌;让酒神狄俄尼索斯浇洒了神酒,使它拥有了芬芳的气味。又有美惠三女神将魅力、聪颖和欢乐赐予了它。随后,西风之神吹散了云朵,太阳神阿波罗得以照耀它并使它开花。玫瑰就这样诞生了,并立即被封为花中之皇后。
