The Ladies of the Rose at Fall Crown 2007 making the traditional wreaths for the incoming Prince and Princess

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."
