Rose Garden

In the heart of our Centre, alongside the cloisters, is our Rose Garden fragrant with the scent of, among others, 'Peace', 'Blessings' & 'Royal William' roses. Not laid out in rows but, as you can see, in a special pattern representing the Life of the Soul on Earth.

In the centre is the Cross which stands for the path of Life; around the Cross radiates the seven-pointed Star, symbolising the Spheres, of which the seventh is the Christ Sphere. Eventually the soul reaches God represented by the large enclosing circle of roses. In each portion of this symbol, the colours too have their special significance. Golden roses for the Cross; the points of the Star range from red at their base to white at the points, and the Circle is of richly scented deep red roses.

Not only are they a pleasure to the eye, but these roses are dedicated by members to the memory of loved ones. Once a year in the summer we hold a short service gathering round the Cross of Peace Roses, before going to our own 'trees' where we feel for a short time that we are even closer to our loved ones.
