'''Rosa Mystica''' or '''Mystic Rose''' is a [[title of Mary]] in Catholic [[Marian devotion]]. It is found in the [[Litany of Loreto]] in reference to the ''[[Rose of Sharon]]'', an allegorical belief that focuses on the Virgin Mary as [[Mediatrix]] intercessor. A devotional image enshrined at the [[Maria Rosenberg]] church in [[Waldfischbach-Burgalben]], Germany, features an 1138 painting of Mary, featuring three roses, with thirteen roses, allegedly connecting to the 13 July [[feast day]] associated with the Marian title. [[Maria Crocifissa di Rosa]] "Mary crucified of the Rose" was the [[religious name]] of Paolina Francesca di Rosa (1813–55), founder of the [[Handmaids of Charity]]. A 1947 [[Marian apparition]] to religious nurse [[Pierina Gilli]] in [[Montichiari]], Italy is associated with the Rosa Mystica. Mary is said to have appeared to her seven times that year. The devotion is largely centered in Italy, and it is known for its most common [[religious iconography]], an image of the [[Blessed Virgin Mary]] bearing three roses in her breast, symbolising [[Prayer in the Catholic Church|prayer]], [[Sacrament of Penance (Catholic Church)|penance]] and [[expiation]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.catholictradition.org/Mary/mystica.htm|title=ROSA MYSTICA AND THE CHURCH|work=catholictradition.org}}</ref> |

Rosa Mystica or Mystical Rose is a title of Mary in Catholic Marian devotion found in the Litany of Loreto.
It is derived from the Song of Songs 2:1, often translated, "I am the Rose of Sharon". Bishop Robert C. Morlino draws a connection to Isaiah 11:1, "But a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom.[1] This is also reflected in the German Advent hymn Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, known in English as ""Lo, how a rose e'er blooming", which makes reference to the Old Testament prophecies of Isaiah which in Christian interpretation foretell the Incarnation of Christ, and to the Tree of Jesse, a traditional symbol of the lineage of Jesus.[2] A devotional image enshrined at the Maria Rosenberg Church in Waldfischbach-Burgalben, Germany, holds an 1138 painting of Mary, featuring roses.
John Henry Newman said, “Mary is the most beautiful flower ever seen in the spiritual world. It is by the power of God’s grace that from this barren and desolate earth there ever sprung up at all flowers of holiness and glory; and Mary is the Queen of them all. She is the Queen of spiritual flowers; and therefore, is called the Rose, for the rose is called of all flowers the most beautiful. But, moreover, she is the Mystical or Hidden Rose, for mystical means hidden.”
Roses have long been connected with Mary. Known as the “queen of flowers”, the rose represents Mary as Queen of Heaven. Bernard of Clairvaux said, "Eve was a thorn, wounding, bringing death to all; in Mary we see a rose, soothing everybody's hurts, giving the destiny of salvation back to all." Mary is celebrated under the title "Our Lady of the Rose in Lucca, Italy on January 30. Roses feature prominently in the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote a poem called, "Rosa Mystica"; Chrysogonus Waddell composed an a capella choral piece of the same name.[3]
In 1947 Pierina Gilli reported to have experienced a Marian apparition in Montichiari, Italy associated with the Rosa Mystica. The devotion is largely centered in Italy, although it has not been approved by the bishops of Brescia.
