Description

Wikipedia

Monte delle Rose is a mountain in the Monti Sicani, in Sicily, southern Italy. It has an elevation of 1,426 metres (4,678 ft). The most likely hypothesis is that the mountain's name derives from the flower, and more precisely from the thornless peony roses (Paeonia mascula), which bloom in February and grow mainly on this mountain. It is said that the roses grew there when Saint Rosalia, daughter of the noble Sinibaldo, lord of Quisquina and Monte delle Rose, passed by.
