Revision as of 19:11, 6 June 2015
The Order of the Rose for the SCA was founded January 6, 1968 (A.S. II) by Queen Sheryl of Thespis (now known as Countess Amina Sherana de Talavera) to honor those who had been Queen or who had been the lady to a fighter who had won one of the first tourneys when there were no queens. Today, this Order exists throughout the Known World.
In the Caidan Coronation ceremony, when the reigning Queen steps down and becomes a Countess, the newly-crowned Queen presents her with a yellow rose, which is the traditional symbol of a queen in the SCA. As the new Countess received a golden rose when she stepped up, she now receives it as a token of her inclusion in the SCA-wide Order, with the words, "Be welcomed into the Order of the Rose, whose token this is."

Fall Crown tourney will occur on Saturday, September 19, 2015.

Tea in Honor of the Crown Princess
Traditionally, the Crown Princess is honored by the Ladies of the Rose in Caid at an afternoon gathering hosted by her "grandmama" (the current Queen's predecessor.) This is a time for the Ladies of the Rose to reminisce about Caid's history and share their assembled wit and wisdom with the Crown Princess.
Wreaths for Crown Tourney
The Ladies of the Rose prepare the rose and rosemary wreaths which are bestowed upon the victor of the Lists and his/her consort. At Closing Court, the Ladies of the Rose come forward and present roses to the assembled royalty.
Queen's Champion Procession
Customarily, the Queen invites all the Ladies of the Rose present at the Queen's Champion Tourney (the day after Coronation) to accompany Her as she processes around the field to greet Her new subjects.
Elevation Ceremonies
When a Queen becomes a Countess or Duchess, she is entitled to a procession which often includes Ladies of the Rose whom she chooses to accompany her and participate in the ceremony.

New Caidan Crowns Project
Knowing the surpassing skill of Caid's artisans, it was the desire of the Ladies of the Rose to highlight them through the creation of an additional set of Crowns to complement those already part of the Royal Regalia.
We are pleased to announce that, as of December 2012, the design submitted by Maestra Flavia Beatrice Carmigniani was chosen, and that Master Otuell Gowe has begun work on the new Crowns.
The Ladies of the Rose will continue to hold truly amazing raffles featuring creations from our Kingdom's favorite artisans. If enough funds are raised, new Prince and Princess coronets may be possible as well!
