Yesterday, I was driving to a friends house for tea and while on the way I discovered the most wonderful shop. ‘La Maison des Roses’ is a florist dedicated to the rose. Of course, I couldn’t help but stop. It really is the loveliest place! Roses are such beautiful flowers, there are over 100 species and they are the perfect decoration for cakes and wedding cakes. Even a simple single tiered tea time cake would benefit from a scattering of small roses or petals. I recently read that In Rome a wild rose would be placed on the door of a room where secret or confidential matters were discussed. The phrase Sub rosa, or “under the rose”, means to keep a secret — derived from this ancient Roman practice.
