	Just Roses
		Roses were grown at Ely Place during the reign of Elizabeth I. Ely Place was the London residence of the Bishops of Ely; Queen Elizabeth let the gatehouse to Sir Christopher Hatton for the rent not of a peppercorn but a single red rose.
		Venus presented the rose to her son Cupid, who, in turn, gave it to Harpocrates, the god of silence, to induce him to conceal the weaknesses of the gods.
		In heraldry the rose is used as the mark of cadency for a seventh son.

	Classic Tile Murals - Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema - The Roses of Heliogabalus
		He attempted unsuccessfully to introduce the cult of the oriental sun-god of Emesa to Rome, and was notorious for his oriental-style court and its extravagant banquets at which the menu might include the brains of 600 ostriches, powdered glass or camel dung, such was the Emperor's perverted sense of humor.
		Among his celebrated practical jokes was the releasing of a canopy over his guests, suffocating them beneath tons of rose petals, which Alma-Tadema depicts with the debauched emperor and his world-weary companions gazing at the scene in detached amusement.
		In order to paint the roses precisely during the winter, he had them sent from the French Riviera, and for months afterwards Alma-Tadema's studio floor was littered with rose petals.

	Roses in History
		The rose has been associated with man for ages, but it isn't until the mid-1800's that hybridization of the rose into modern, reblooming (remontant) forms really accelerated.
		Once European growers obtained specimens of China roses during the last years of the 18th century, it took several years before they were able to successfully hybridize the European roses with the China.
		Roses were so important to Romans that they created a feast called Rosalia to celebrate the rose, which occurs on the 23rd of May.

		In this respect he joins such early twentieth century masters of fantasy as Lord Dunsany, E.R. Eddison, and J.R.R. Tolkien in his polymath literary tendencies; but unlike these goldsmiths of prose, his best work was wrought in verse.
		There was no direct relationship between Smith's poem and Alma-Tadema's masterpiece, but both works were inspired by the same historical figure, the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antonius (better known as Elagabalus or Heliogabalus).
		Where the Dutch-English master has transformed the somewhat macabre incident (in the Roman account the Emperor actually suffocates his guests in a shower of rose petals) into one of playful luxury, Smith's poem celebrates the Emperor's decadent personality in the tradition of Baudelaire.
