- c.1440, "rose garden," from L. rosarium "rose garden," from neut. of rosarius "of roses," from rosa "rose." The sense of "series of prayers" is 1547, from M.Fr. rosaire, a figurative use of the word meaning "rose garden," on the notion of a "garden" of prayers. This embodies the medieval conceit of comparing collections to bouquets (cf. anthology and M.L. hortulus animж, "prayerbook," lit. "little garden of the soul"). ROSE - O.E. rose, from L. rosa, probably from Gk. rhodon "rose" (Aeolic wrodon), from Pers. *vrda-. Used of a color since 1530. Rose-colored "optimistic" is first recorded 1861.

Rosy in the sense of "cheerful" is first recorded 1775; meaning "promising" is from 1887. Rose of Sharon (Song of Sol. ii.1) named for fertile strip on coast of Palestine.
