In feudal times, a red rose was a symbol of fealty and a token of annual rent. but around the years 1040 - 1051 CE, the Roman Catholic Pope Leo IX annually exacted a golden rose from the Monastery of the Holy Cross in Alsace. As the custom developed, this rose was a single blossom made of pure gold tinted red and later set with gems and scented with musk and balsam. It was blessed by the Pope on the fourth Sunday of Lent, Laetare Sunday, and presented to the individual, church, sanctuary, or city government deemed most deserving by the Holy See. The first woman so honored was Joanna I, Queen of Naples, in 1368, but other women were honored afterwards as well. English queens who received the Golden Rose included Queen Mary Tudor, daughter of King Henry VIII, in 1555; and Henrietta Maria, queen consort of Charles I, in 1625.

The Order of the Rose for the SCA was founded January 6, 1968 (A.S.
