planted in the garden of your soul.
The mystical rose tree is Jesus and Mary in life, death, and eternity. It's green leaves are the Joyful Mysteries, the thorns the Sorrowful Mysteries, and the flowers the Glorious Mysteries.
**Pope John Paul added that the light from heaven that is shown on the tree is the Luminous Myteries ***
The buds are the childhood of Jesus and Mary, and the open blooms represent the sufferings of both, and the full blown roses represent Jesus and Mary in their triumph and glory.
