Damask Rose

A damask rose in full bloom often touches love ripening toward union and great hopes coming due. The dream may ask what fond expectation feels close to fulfilment, whose affection you're trusting, and whether the rose offered you carries true and faithful love or, beneath its fragrance, the risk of being deceived.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for damask rose, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of seeing a damask rosebush in full foliage and bloom, denotes that a wedding will soon take place in your family, and great hopes will be fulfilled.

For a lover to place this rose in your hair, foretells that you will be deceived. If a woman receives a bouquet of damask roses in springtime, she will have a faithful lover; but if she received them in winter, she will cherish blasted hopes.
