Description: In Medieval times, monasteries and castles had formal rose gardens, which provided baskets full of fresh rose petals from which to make beads for strands of prayer beads used by Monks and Noblemen. the beads were made of roses, hence the termrosary, which over time was applied to most prayer strands (particularly those used by Catholics) made from any type of beads. A museum curator at a small natural history museum in Hungary, once showed me a 300-year-old rosary, the beads made from rose petals. "Cup it in your hands for a minute," she said, "and then smell it." WOW! After 300 years, it had the delicate fragrance of roses! Rose-petal-beads don't look like much.
