The white means purity, innocence and satisfaction. The white flowers are gladding the eyes and soul. Especially when you’re a busy man and you got tired after a full week, the white garden is the perfect answer. If your only chance to admire the home garden is in the evening, we are suggesting you to choose to garnish the garden with white Flowering Tobacco (Nicotiana affinis). In Romania, we like to call it the Queen of the night, because of its blooming in evening and also of its special calming effects scent.

There are a lot of legends about the rose’s apparition. One of these, the Greek one says that this flower was special created by the gods. Chloris, flowers’ Goddess, wanted to make a unique flower by one of her darling nymphs who had passed away. Therefore she called the Dyonissos God to give him perfume, the Three Graces (Brightness, Happiness and Glamour). Zephyr, the spring wind God, had averted the clouds letting the Apollo God to illuminate and making the rose flower. Then finely came Ares, God of the war, who gave the spines to the rose, for this to defend itself against the other flowers’ envy. A Latin legend says that on the beginning there were only white roses. The red roses appeared when Jupiter had couth out the Venus swimming in a lake surrounded by white roses. The Goddess blushed and all roses around her became red beyond her face’s color. The rose was a sacred flower. From the Rome old-timers we are now inheriting the phrase “sub rosa” (“under a rose”) that means to keep a secret. For its holiness, the rose was put on the door of a room when those who were inside had confidential matters to discuss. Later, the Christians came to consider the red roses as pagan flowers and all love rituals too. They associated the white rose with Virgin Mary beyond Her purity.
