Roses originated in Persia and they spread to India. There is no evidence as to when roses were brought into Thailand. However, a record of the French Ambassador to the Court of King Narai the Great states that roses had been seen in Ayuthaya.
There are many versions of the legends about the birth of roses but all of them say the same thing - originally there were only white roses, then something happened and red roses appeared.
