I think the most common is "of roses" (not including "garden" or "garland" or any other word). Rosaries were called "rosaries" because they were made "of roses." Later the term began to be applied to prayer necklaces made of other materials as well.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-80530129972080240202014-11-27T05:07:51.965-08:002014-11-27T05:07:51.965-08:00Lovely post Robin.

In reply to your question, I found this -- "The word rosary comes from Latin and means a garland of roses, the rose being one of the flowers used to symbolize the Virgin Mary."

I believe by a nun. I don't have them, but I believe my older sister does. Yes, they still carry the scent, even though they're not 300 years old! Very interesting collection .
