Roses
The Caidan Roses.
The Order of the Rose 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 a former Queen becomes a Countess, the Queen presents her with a yellow rose and says, "Be welcomed into the Order of the Rose, whose token this is."

Activities
Activities of the members of the Caidan Roses.
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
