The story goes that during the RomanEmpire, there was an incredibly beautiful maiden named Rhodanthe.Her beauty drew many zealous

And when the suitors broke down her temple gates to get near their beloved Rhodanthe, she became angry tuming
4、 Rhodanthe into a rose and her suitors into thorns 玫瑰本身就是一个传闻，在罗马帝国时代，有一个名叫罗丹斯的漂亮绝伦的少女。她的漂亮引来了多数狂热的求婚者锲而不合地追求她。罗丹斯实在招架不住了，不得不到挚友狄安娜的神庙里躲避她的求婚者。不幸的是，狄安娜产生了嫉妒之心。当求婚者冲进了神庙的大门，要接近他们所爱恋着的罗丹斯时，狄安娜一怒之下将罗丹斯变成了一枝玫瑰花，将她的求婚者变成了花刺。 In Greek legend, the rose was created by Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers.

9、of course never will! 欧洲见到的第一枝真正的原色红玫瑰叫做“斯莱特中国深红”，于1792年从中国引进。当时，它.直生长在中国山区的野地里口玫瑰培育者立刻起先用它进行杂交种植。从今，寻求完备的红玫瑰始终是玫瑰栽培者所追求的志向。这种玫瑰应具有芳香的气味、抵挡疾病的实力，长久的花期、修长的花茎、反复开花的本事、美丽的体态以及不褪色的纯鲜红颜色。然而，肯定的完备却始终未达到，当然也恒久无法达到!

12、隐私沟通的方式。18世纪中期，英国驻君士坦丁堡大使的夫人在信中对此做了描述。这些信件激发了许很多多关于花草语言书籍的问世，每一本书都对每种花所隐藏的信息进行了描述。一朵红玫瑰花蕾代表萌发中的情欲，一枝盛开的白玫瑰则是在探问：“你会爱我吗?井一枝绽开的红玫瑰的含义是：“我对你满怀着爱意和渴望竹，而一枝开放的黄玫瑰则是在询问：“你是不是不再爱我了?” 双语美文阅读：情人节的由来 There are varying opinions as to the origin ofValentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from S

15、n 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. 而另外一种说法更具有传奇色调，相传圣瓦伦丁曾留下一本日记给了狱卒的女儿，署名为“你的情人”，据说这名狱卒的女儿就是圣瓦伦丁的情人。还有其他的说法也颇为好玩。比如说有人认为在克劳狄君王统治时期，圣瓦仑丁曾经是一名神父，因为公然挑战克劳狄君王的权威而身陷囹圄。所以，公元前496年罗马教皇基拉西乌斯特意将2月14日作为一个特殊的日子以纪念圣瓦伦丁。 Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging l
