WHAT'S IN A NAME? THE MEANING OF ROSE

The word rosa is derived from the Greek word rodon, meaning “red.” The rose used by the Greeks was a deep, crimson color—the color of blood, passion, and love. The Greek poet Sappho referred to rose as the “Queen of Flowers.”

So when Juliet asks, What’s in a name? we know that this flower of love is named for the deep, red passion of Grecian roses.

(Romeo and Juliet)
