2团的玫瑰们

又整了9株玫瑰.......这次先介绍我喜欢的们,其它的么叔叔阿姨们一起来补充吧

今天下雨,体育课在教室无聊就用手机上网查了2号奥帕西.这种玫瑰是在dk百科图鉴的<药用植物>一书中出现过的,中世纪深受英国人喜爱的玫瑰.officinalis的名字暗示它有药用功效,是药用蔷薇香水的主要品种.又名兰开斯特玫瑰.最先在中亚种植,被波斯人与埃及人带到罗马,由罗马到高尔(当时是罗马帝国的部分)再带到现在英国的地区.几乎是最早种植的玫瑰.耐荫耐寒耐旱,只是不耐霉病.干燥与研磨后依然有香味(事实上干燥的花瓣的香味更加浓郁),我周日上午散步(其实是买冰激凌在外面吃掉)的时候顺便(用手机)上网查了它的资料,结果是冒着被姐姐们凌迟的风险加了2株的单.今天看着看着........更加喜欢了.

Lancashire's Red Rose is an official variety, known as the Red Rose of Lancashire, but it is more accurately named as the Red Rose of Lancaster. Extracts from Hilliers Manual of Trees and Shrubs gives "Rosa Gallica Officinalis" (the "officinalis" denotes that the plant is used as an herbal remedy), the "Red Rose of Lancaster" as a small shrub producing richly fragrant, semi-double, rosy crimson flowers with prominent yellow anthers.Rosa gallica officinalis,was possibly the first cultivated rose and is the first and the most famous of the Gallica roses. Originally a species rose, it grew wild in central Asia and was first cultivated by the ancient Persians and Egyptians, and later adopted by the Greeks and the Romans. The Romans introduced it in Gaul (later to become France) where it assumed the named Rosa gallica.

This ancient rose is recorded as being in cultivation in the 800's (It was used as a medicine and perfume in the court of Charlemagne in the ninth century A.D.). Its petals were noted to retain their fragrance even when dried and powdered and for this reason, it remains the rose of choice for potpourris. It was also cultivated for its medicinal values. It is also commonly known as the "Apothecary’s Rose" and, more rarely, referred to as the "Old Red Damask" and "Rose of Provins".

The Red Rose at Lancaster has a long and distinguished history which is intertwined with the House of Lancaster, the War of the Roses, the Monarchy, the County Palatine of Lancaster and the development of the County of Lancashire. It was first adopted as an heraldic device by Edmund, First Earl of Lancaster and became the emblem of Lancashire, and of England as a whole, following the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.

In more modern times in France and Flanders, during the 1914/18 War and in the Campaign in Belgium and France 1939/40, the 55th (West Lancashire) Territorial Division wore the Lancaster Rose on their shoulder flashes as their Divisional Sign and had the motto "They win or die, who wear the Rose of Lancaster". One of the original "Flashes" worn by troops of the 55th (West Lancashire) Division can be seen today, framed and with an accompanying plaque, just off the main bar in the Hesketh Arms, Botanic Road, Churchtown, Southport, Lancashire.

"Rosa Gallica Officinalis" can be seen in the herbaceous border near the Shire Hall entrance to Lancaster Castle, at Pendle Heritage Gardens, Barrowford. Nr. Nelson in East Lancashire, Ashton Memorial, Williamson Park, Lancaster, Glebe Gardens, Nr. St. Peter’s Church, Heysham, Lancashire, and Levens Hall Gardens in Westmorland.
