The Tea Rose

Tea Roses are a sign of Remembrance:
A symbol that you remember someone who is far away.


The term "sub rosa"

In ancient Roman times a wild rose would be placed as a marker on the door of a room where confidential meetings took place. The term 'sub rosa' means 'under the rose'.

Hence the sub rosa in today's terms means to keep a secret
. . . "shhhhh!"
