📜 Origin & History

The roses native to China are actually Chinese roses and wild roses, collectively called 'Qiang Wei' by the ancients. There are records of rose cultivation from the Han Dynasty, but they became truly popular as ornamental flowers during the Tang and Song dynasties. The legend of Yang Guifei bathing in rose water added a touch of fragrant glamour to Rose Pink.

Tang Dynasty women's makeup already included a rose shade, with 'rose dew' becoming a precious cosmetic for noblewomen. The technique of pounding rose petals to extract dye for fabrics was secretly passed down in imperial weaving and dyeing bureaus, making rose pink gauze a fabric exclusive to consorts.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Chinese rose varieties greatly proliferated, including many pink cultivars. Horticultural books like 'Qun Fang Pu' and 'Hua Jing' detailed the planting and viewing of pink roses, bringing Rose Pink into the daily aesthetics of folk boudoirs.

In modern times, as Western Valentine's Day culture was introduced to China, the rose became a symbol of love. While red roses are too intense, pink roses occupy the emotional expression of 'first love' and 'secret crush' with their gentle stance. Rose Pink thus gained modern romantic semantics.

In contemporary China, the rose economy spans the entire industry chain from fresh flowers to fragrances to cosmetics. As the core visual color, Rose Pink is active in major beauty brands and lifestyle products, holding the highest commercial value among pinks.
