Description
The name “Rose of Sharon” first appears in Hebrew in the Tanakh. In the Shir Hashirim (‘Song of Songs’ or ‘Song of Solomon’) 2:1, the speaker (the beloved) says “I am the rose of Sharon, a rose of the valley”.
In the Bible, Sharon refers to flat land at the foot of Mount Carmel. The Song of Solomon describes the beloved Schulamite woman as a flower of Sharon.
Rose of Sharon was named for a place: a fertile plain along the Mediterranean coast in western Israel. The plant growing there, the “rose of Sharon” mentioned in the Bible, was probably a wild tulip.
