Roses stand for the elite super drug.

********

There’s also “sub rosa”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub_rosa

The Latin phrase sub rosa means “under the rose”, and is used in English to denote secrecy or confidentiality, similar to the Chatham House Rule. The rose as a symbol of secrecy has an ancient history.

History

Horus as a nude boy with his finger to his mouth, and a sidelock of hair, the symbols of childhood. Here he also has a uraeus above his forehead, symbolizing his entitlement to kingship.
The rose has held a deeply symbolic significance in many times and cultures as a symbol of maternal creativity and of the yoni or feminine generative power.[1] The literal rose and its essence or attar has also played a role in religious and spiritual rites which ofttimes would have been held in secret.[2]

The rose has sometimes been said to have been the emblem of the god Horus in ancient Egypt. However, the gods in Egypt were usually associated with the lotus. The idea of Horus being linked to the rose probably arises from Greek and Roman cultural cross-transmission of myths from Egypt. Firstly, the rose’s connotation of secrecy dates back also to Greek mythology. Aphrodite gave a rose to her son Eros, the god of love; he, in turn, gave it to Harpocrates, the god of silence and a Greek name for a form of Horus, to ensure that his mother’s indiscretions (or those of the gods in general, in other accounts) were not disclosed.[3] Secondly, in Egypt, the rose was actually sacred to Isis but this appears to have been during the Roman period of Egyptian history—”Probably due to assimilation with the goddess Aphrodite (Venus), during the Roman period, the rose was used in her worship.”[citation needed]

Later, the Greeks and Romans translated the god’s Egyptian name Heru-pa-khered as Harpocrates and regarded him as the god of silence. The association of Harpocrates with silence and secrecy originates from a misunderstanding of Egyptian depictions of the god. Heru-pa-khered was represented as a naked youth with a finger-to-mouth gesture—in Egyptian artwork this gesture imitates the hieroglyph for child and is used to represent youth, but was misunderstood by Greeks and Romans as a gesture for silence.[citation needed]

Paintings of roses on the ceilings of Roman banquet rooms were also a reminder that things said under the influence of wine (sub vino) should also remain sub rosa.[4]

In the Middle Ages a rose suspended from the ceiling of a council chamber similarly pledged all present (those under the rose) to secrecy.[5]

In Christian symbolism, the phrase “sub rosa” has a special place in confessions. Pictures of five-petalled roses were often carved on confessionals, indicating that the conversations would remain secret.[3] The phrase has also been understood to refer to the mysterious virginal conception of Christ.

The rose is also an esoteric symbol of Rosicrucianism which was often considered to be a secret society or brotherhood.

The Tudor rose
In the 16th century, the symbol of Henry VII of England was the stylised Tudor dynasty rose. A large image of the rose covered the ceiling of the private chamber where decisions of state were made in secret.

In current times, the term is used by the Scottish Government for a specific series of “off the record” meetings.[5]

Re Roses:
Quite interesting, Grimmy. Great dig.

Remember the days we would all spend a week or two digging on one drop? The last week has been an embarrassment of riches. So much to think about! So many ways to interpret Comey’s tweet...but only one way to interpret Q’s response!

Good deep dive on the subject of roses.

Saw somewhere maybe it was SB2 that C was at the top of the Cabal and was to become the Grand Poo Pah or whatever you call it before he got caught. He comes off as non threatening and even elegant in a strange way always even kiled and unsuspecting.

There are some videos that talk about the meaning of flowers and roses. The celebrities were going bonkers over them during the lockdown.

WHY Are Celebrities FREAKING Out About Their FLORISTS In Hollywood ?
