Roses have a rich history, being cultivated by the Greeks around 500 BC in Greece. Ancient Greek scholars often praised the scent of roses. In China, roses were widely used as an herbal tonic, with the buds being highly valued. Legends says that Yang Guifei, during the Tang Dynasty (618-906 AD), was also known for her porcelain-like skin, believed to be the result of bathing in rose petals. The Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) text on tea, Cha Pu, also mentions the soothing properties of rose herbal tea.
