Gilnean Rose

"'For every 5 gardens, there is at least 3 of these who possess a Gilnean Rose. That is my promise, good sir; You won't find finer flowers!' - Mr. Rowler, an accomplished Gilnean florist." The Gilnean Rose is perhaps one of Azeroth's most famous flowers and iconic symbols of not only the Kingdom of Gilneas (Who has the very plant upon their national crest), but also that of renewal and peace. These such roses are commonly found in many graveyards and gardens throughout the Eastern Kingdoms.

The Roses are well known for being an accessory for many upper-class women, particularly in Gilneas, where the roses are tucked into the ladies' hair.

Following the maritime trade expansion of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras in 225 L.A.C., many merchants and travelling florists from Gilneas sold these flowers due to their relatively simple process of maintaining. They were so popular that the Gilneas Roses began making their way to the distant kingdoms of Stormwind and remarkably even in Quel'thalas (Though they weren't nearly as popular to the elves who nurtured their own unique flowers). Gilnean Roses may be seen in a variety of hues of red, or in some cases, a pure silver colour. It is said that these silver roses only sprout during a full moon and bring a sense of balance to those who smell it's scent. It is commonly associated with Wolf's Blood weed, which are common cut offs which aid in sprouting brighter rose thorns and are typically sheltered under these roses.
