...It is said that this flower was given to Harpokratēs, the god of silence, in Greek mythology, and since ancient times, a single rose has been placed in the center of the ceiling of a conference room as a sign of a vow not to leak the contents of the conference to outsiders. This is the origin of the idiom "sub rosa" (under the rose, in secret). [Kawasaki Toshihiko] *Some of the terminology that mentions "sub rosa" is listed below.
