The rose is special to so many diverse cultures, with each bearing its own significant symbolism to the flower. Universally synonymous with love and admiration, it was, without a doubt, the best choice to represent The Refinery, a finishing school that recognises the nuances of a neutral world - a world where our distinct cultures are in a state of evolution and coalescence. There are several flowers that may be considered more superior or valuable than the rose, by virtue of their appearance or their exclusivity, but the versatile and universal nature of the all-embracing rose renders it a timeless classic. May we never cease to learn from this fragrant flower.
