The Order of the Rose is reserved to those who have successfully completed one reign as consort. Its members, referred to as Companions of the Rose are by definition also Royal Peers and therefore use the title appropriate to their station (i.e "Grace", or "Excellency").
History
The Order of the Rose is a Society wide order. The Order was founded on January 6, 1968 (A.S. II) at Twelfth Night by Queen Sheryl of Thespis (now known as Countess Amina Sherana de Talavera) and King William the Silent to honor those who had been Queen or who had been the lady to a fighter who had won one of the first tourneys when there were no queens.
The governance and precedence varies from kingdom to kingdom. In the Kingdom of Atlantia, the Order of the Rose does not convey a Patent of Arms to the recipient.
