Flowers played a significant role in the Tudor and Stuart courts, with their colors, scents, adornments, sustenance, and enthrallment adding to the splendor of these royal environments. These interdisciplinary essays explore flowers as real, artificial, and represented objects across various aspects of Tudor and Stuart court life, including gardens, literature, painting, interior furnishing, garments, and as jewels, medicine, and food. By situating this burgeoning floral culture within a European floral revolution of science, natural history, global trade, and colonial expansion, these essays reveal the courts' distinctive floral identity and history. If the rose served as a particularly English lingua franca of royal power across two dynasties, this volume sheds light on a wide range of wild and garden flowers to offer an immersive picture of how the Tudor and Stuart courts lived and functioned, styled and displayed themselves through flowers. It contributes to a revival of interest in the early modern green world and provides a focused view of a court and court culture that used and revelled in blooms.
