Librarian’s Notes on the Fiery Rosa
A relatively new addition to the Gardens, this flowering plant has not been seen before near the castle, or in fact in any field of forest, though I have found brief mentions in various books, since the day these flowers have appeared they have been rather abundant.
As the name it has been given suggests it is of Rosaceae (Rose Family), in the order Rosales, Rosa Maculatum or Reversalis Rosa.
It is well known by its popular name, the Fiery Rosa, due to the unusual and rather unique characteristics of its coloration.
At first glance it appears like any other rose, with serrated leaf margins, thorned stem and beautiful flowers. However unlike others of its apparent species its stem appears black as if burned, the petals of the flower are a deep red purple, near black, which get lighter the closer one comes to its edges, ending in a coloration that is usually unique to the smoldering embers of a flame.
While a particularly hardy plant, it can grow in a number of climes, however, it is important to note, it does not grow well, or may fail to grow at all in soil with high water content, or near sources water, such as rivers and lakes.
Cultivating this plant also proves to be quite a delightful experience, as it releases pollen in the months following its initial bloom, the pollen resembles embers of flame, and actually appear to be bio-luminescent.
It is unknown why this particular feature exists; however, it may have something to do with the fact this plant naturally only releases pollen a night.
While certainly beautiful this flowers beauty is a vibrant and eye catching deception.
While many know only its popular name, in the few references I have come across to its existence, I have found that it has a lesser known name that seems to have been stricken from most accounts of this flowers existence.
Hemlock's Rose.
Most use this plant for purely ornamental purposes, and there are likely very few alive that know of its other use.
Like the name suggests, it is poisonous, and has effects similar to that of the Hemlock plant.
The ingestion of Hemlock’s Rose or any liquids derived from it is evident through the weakening of muscles and pain from the deterioration and death of those muscles; Sweating, vomiting, unconsciousness, respiratory paralysis as the toxins interfere with the red cell's ability to extract oxygen, eventually causing 'internal asphyxia', and finally death.
It begins reacting immediately once ingested, symptoms begin within thirty minutes to an hour and death comes within several hours of ingestion.
The toxin’s that make up this plant are particularly concentrated in its leaves and unripened fruit, the fruit itself appears black when unripe, like the coals of a fire, they are round and bear striking resemblance to Rose Hips.
Once ripe, the fruit becomes vibrant resembling live coals and loses its toxicity instead taking on the healing properties of the flowers petals that had surrounded it before.
It should also be noted, that the petals of this plants flowers and the fruit once ripe, are the only known substances that contain an antidote to the poison concocted from these plants, however, the cure must be administered before symptoms manifest, otherwise, there is no hope, once symptoms occur, it is already too late and death is the only outcome.
Authors Notes:
-The petals and fruit can also be used to make highly effective Healing Potions if brewed correctly.
-The entire plant seems to be either highly resistant to or immune to fire. More research pending.
