In former times – and today! – special gardens were installed for one or more species of plants – but in all times the Rose was searched for, cultivated and loved.
A Rosarium was even present in Medieval and Roman times – for the wealthy people, of course. Rare cultivates were shown there in their own beds and admired.
This Mandala now is in the series of “….ariums” following the layout scheme of Pomarium, Herbularius, Tinctorium
It does not only depict 8 gorgeous culture of roses, but as well the basic roses, which are mothers to all modern roses too.
