Background

Allusive to the alchemical feat of palingenesis by Paracelsus, the phrase "ghost of a rose" also occurs in the penultimate paragraph of the physician-philosopher Thomas Browne's 1658 discourse The Garden of Cyrus which concludes, "...and though in the Bed of Cleopatra, can hardly with any delight raise up the ghost of a Rose".
