The Ladies of the Rose at the Rose Tournament, GWW 2008

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

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.
