Cherokee Rose Flowers

"They are not long, the days of wine and roses: Out of a misty dream Our path emerges for a while, then closes Within a dream." - Ernest Dowson

Growing in abundance along southern China and Taiwan, the Cherokee rose arouses your senses bringing back memories of love found through struggle and tears. The feeling that comes after that is that of euphoric, of having conquered the world single-handedly, slaying the dragons for your lady love and carrying her away in a big white horse. The Cherokee rose epitomizes hope as Lady Bird Johnson says, "Where flowers bloom so does hope….." From the hoary times it has been related with wish fulfilled, of having found true love in your life, discovering that one person who makes you feel whole from within.

Gifted to your lover it will surely bring memories of the sweet happy times spend together. Feel your senses and that of your lover with the whisper of the velvety white petals. Experience the magic of love, hear your heart beat and feel the passion wash over you through its sweet aromatic fragrance.

Even with its short blooming season in late March and April, it captivates and caresses your heart like a long lost love, reminding you of time spend together and the joys it brought to your life in that short period of time. According to a legend the Cherokee rose came along the Trail of Tears that was started by some grieving and crying mothers, as they were unable to help their children survive the journey. The elders prayed for a sign that would cheer up the mothers giving them strength and the next day this beautiful roses began to grow where each mother shed their tear.

The long stemmed Cherokee rose with its attractive evergreen compound leaves looks extremely pleasing decorated with other stemmed leaves, making a lovely bouquet out of it to gift to your lady love, as, "I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck…" Emma Goldman.
