The rose became a witness to love stories all over the world, as the custom developed for the bride to hold a rose bouquet that symbolizes beauty, love and purity. In the Tirol of Austria, the bridegroom offers roses to the bride. In France, on the morning of the wedding, the bride throws rose petals into a pond or a stream as a symbolic act of farewell to maiden life. As seen here, the rose symbolizes "love" and generally conveys graceful beauty, but the yellow rose symbolizes "jealousy" which is perhaps due to its characteristic stimulating green scent. Damask rose that symbolizes "contrasting beauty" has a rich and gorgeous scent. China rose that symbolizes "perpetually renewed beauty" has a refined scent of green violet. Japanese wild rose that symbolizes "recovery from agony" has a refreshingly sweet, powdery scent that is said to even cure the pains of unrequited love.
