Famille Rose: The potters in this period created the porcelains now known by their French names of famille noire, famille verte, and the famille rose, these names being derived from their background colors. The famille noire is a rare black porcelain decorated with gold or painted with brilliant en¬amel colors. Famille verte designates a porcelain of rich green background with applied colored Decoration in transparent enamel. Famille rose is a precious porcelain with a background of a beautiful rose color, made from gold, and upon which enamelled colors are painted. Sometimes the rose shades were applied on a fine white porcelain. The Chinese perfected beautiful purple and yellpw glazes, but these are extremely rare. The yel¬low or famille jaune was used mainly to adorn imperial palaces.
The polychrome decoration, which had been introduced in the Ming period and which was a process of painting enamel colors of various delicate shades on the original glazed piece of porcelain, produced the most glorious creations. The enamel paints were applied to the surface of the piece, which had already been glazed, and then the colors were made more permanent by means of refiring at a temperature lower than the original firing, as the enamel colors could not stand the high degree of heat necessary for firing the body of the piece itself.

Ever since the Middle Ages the pope has, on Laetare Sunday, blessed a golden rose which he bestows on some bene¬ficiary. Some Italian writers have declared that the term sub rosa is derived from the fact of consecrated roses being placed over the confes¬sionals at Rome to denote secrecy, the rose being a symbol of silence. In legend, Saint Dorothea, who suffered martyrdom under Fabricius, made a convert of Theophilus by sending him some roses from paradise. The rose is an attribute of Saints Casilda, Elizabeth of Portugal, Rose of Lirna, Rose of Viterbo, Rosalia, and others.
On The Other Hand See Standard Rose Is Budded:A standard rose is budded on young lateral shoots at the desired height, close to the main stem of the briar, For a bush rose the budding is done at ground level on two-year-old briar seedlings. Once the bud comes into growth, the gardener trims away the rest of the briar to concentrate the plant's whole activity into the developing scion. He may also graft stem cuttings to the briar; this is in fact normal for ramblers and some other climbing types.
