The beautiful rose, even as a wild version it had such beauty. It was thought in the middle ages that to regain your lover's affection, you should pick three rose buds on Midsummer's Eve, and bury one in a newly made grave, another under a yew tree, and the third under your lover's pillow. Your lover's sleep will be wracked with dreams about you, and he will get no rest until he returns. Art and Legends from the artist's book 'Flowers, Forests, and Folklore' unpublished at this time.
