Rose have been important since earliest times in ritual, cosmetics, perfumes and medicines. Various kinds were used medicinally by the ancient Greeks, Romans, and Persians; in AD77 Pliny recorded 32 different disorders that responded well to treatment by rose preparations. Red rose petals were listed in the British Pharmacopoeia until the 1930s as an astringent and flavouring for medicines.
