Roses Photos Biography
Roses are THE most popular choice for wedding flowers. Brides use roses throughout their wedding theme by incorporating them in their bridal bouquets, wedding favors (e.g. rose themed wedding favors), and wedding ceremony accessories. Although white and ivory colored roses are used most often, pinks and reds are also very popular choices. So when it is time for your big day, be sure to incorporate some of the roses shown in this lens for a stunning look at your wedding!

Damask roses are so-called because they were believed to have originated in Damascus, which is now Syria. They were brought to Europe from Constantinople by the Crusaders sometime between 1254 and 1276.

Damasks are strongly scented and have been used in the production of perfumed oils for centuries. When we think of the smell of roses, it is typically the scent of the Damasks we identify as "old rose."
Rosa Damascena, shown above, is
available in a variety of sizes
and formats at AllPosters.com
Damasks are mid-size to large rose bushes with either heavy canes and a more upright form with
spreading canopies or more slender arching canes
that are pulled down by the weight of their blooms,
creating a waterfall effect.
