The oldest ever painted roses were discovered on a Fresco in 1900, at the palace of King Minos in the north of Crete. We can be fairly sure both from deduction and examples such as these that roses played a key part, even then, in every day life. Those in the fresco are five petalled blooms most likely to have been Rosa gallica but also possibly Rosa canina (the dog rose we know so well in our hedgerows) or even Rosa sancta also known as The Holy Rose, all of them quite beautiful in their simplicity.
