Roses have always been grown for their medicinal properties, in a herb garden. The greeks and Romasn were very fond of roses and used them extensively. By 1200AD there were 5 groups of roses cultivated. Napoleon's wife Josephine, made a large collection of old roses and help to encourage people to put them in their gardens as shrubs.
