Sub Rosa

The Sub Rosa is the Head of the Department of Intelligence and a member of the Board of Department Heads. She is one of the Firstborn among the Flowers, and is a large pinkish Rose. As is the case with some other Flowers, the Sub Rosa is usually referred to as "she"; this may or may not be purely an honorific.

Speaking of honorifics, sub rosa does not actually refer to a type of rose, but rather is a (very apt) Latin phrase meaning "beneath the rose," a reference to secrecy. The Sub Rosa's actual species is purely a guess; there are hundreds of types of rose.
