roses

Now I am painting roses expect I should look to their placement. Asking around I find pink

blooms are suitable for bedrooms, red for a more formal setting such as a dining room and

white and gold anywhere else.

I also discover Cleopatra was said to have filled her rooms with rose petals to welcome Mark

Anthony and that the early Christians banned the rose from churches and churchyards because

of its connection with pagan rites. This is getting interesting ...
