Roses app 7x5 1/2 Acrylic on wood panel


Roses are probably the most popular flower in the world. They are symbols of everthing between the Virgin Mary and Aprodite and Venus. It is also the official flower of several states and governments and a lot of sports teams. It is also known for its scent, and it's thorns. Rose is the word for red in a lot of languages, and sub rosa is a phrase for secret. If a secret meeting is to occur, a rose at the threshold ( i.e. under the rose - sub rosa) indicates where the meeting takes place. E-mail me at artistjohnwlong@live.com
