La rosa enflorese
Pues que tu reyna del cielo
Rosa das rosas
De tout flors
Plus bele que flor, Quant revient et fuelle et flor, L'autrier joer m'en alai, Flos
O virgo pia, Lis ne glai, Amat
Ther is no rose of swych virtu
Ad rose titulum
O rosa bella, o dolce anima mia
Laude novella sia cantata
Un fiore gentil m'apparse
Der winter will hin weichen
Unter den Linden
Ave generosa
Procession from Ordo Virtutum

References to lilies and roses and many other flowers abound in both secular and sacred texts that were set to music from across European medieval repertoire from the 12th to the early 15th century. These two flowers in particular provided a rich symbolism: lilies represented purity and brightness in a sacred context. Roses are often used to represent love, secular or sacred. Both flowers were strongly associated with the Virgin Mary – the lily particularly is associated with the annunciation, the biblical scene in which the Angel Gabriel appears to Mary to announce that she will give birth. Countless painting and altarpieces show Gabriel presenting a lily to Mary.
