You might find these files in the PLANTS, HERBS AND SPICES section of my
Florilegium to be of interest:
roses-art         (36K)  5/15/97    "Sacred Iron Posies" by Daniel del Cavallo.
                                       (medieval roses).
seeds-msg         (57K)  4/ 2/99    Sources for period plants and seeds.

I'm not sure if this one has info on roses, but it might be good for some
background info. In the HOME, SWEET HOME section:
gardens-msg       (17K)  8/28/97    Medieval gardens. flowers.

Perhaps the SCA-Herbs (or whatever it's exact name is. Phlip?) list?
