Red roses are one of the most well-known and enduring symbols of love and beauty in Western culture. In Greek mythology, the red rose sprouted when Adonis, Aphrodite’s lover, was mortally wounded by a wild boar. Overcome with grief; the goddess cried over his body. Her tears mixed with his blood and fell to the ground, sprouting a crimson rose where they landed. This symbol of love endured through the Victorian era, where red roses were commonly used to send messages of love. This tradition was solidified by the poet and playwright William Shakespeare, who likened love to a rose in Romeo and Juliet. Today, red roses are used in bridal bouquets to signify marital bliss, as well as purity, loveliness, and romantic love. Rose Little Red Corvette™ flowers are the perfect garnish to use on wedding cakes, desserts for anniversary parties, and during Valentine’s Day, a holiday that celebrates love and commitment in Western culture.
Roses are one of the oldest and most widely cultivated flowers in the world, with fossil records tracing the origin of the rose back over 35 million years. Modern-day rose varieties originated in Asia over 5,000 years ago. The blooms and seeds were spread along trade routes into Europe and Africa. The popularity of the flowers grew through the Middle Ages, weaving into the folklore of many different cultures, including Greek, Roman, and Christian mythologies. Roses can grow in a variety of climates, including the Alaskan tundra and Northwest Africa. Rose Little Red Corvette™ flowers were developed by Fresh Origins Farm, located in San Marcos, California. Fresh Origins grows over 60 varieties of edible flowers and uses the mild and sunny Southern California climate year-round to produce flavorful, attractive, safe, and quality blooms. Little Red Corvette™ flowers can be found through select distribution partners of Fresh Origins across the United States and Canada.
