Pink Rose For Grace And Friendship.

Also a symbol of spiritual enlightenment and the emblem of wine and love. Venus presented the rose to her son Cupid, who then gave it to Harpocrates, the god of Silence, to induce him to conceal the weaknesses of the gods.      I have always been fascinated by myths and legends and wondered if the mute Marx brother, Harpo's name was taken from Harpocrates. Seems very likely although the actor who played Harpo, could speak.
