But Legendre isn't limited to streets and passages; it also finds itself intertwined with nature's beauty. Take for instance the evergreen rose, Rosa sempervirens - an enchanting flower that symbolizes eternal love. Or perhaps you prefer the wild allure of the dog rose, Rosa canina, or even the delicate fragrance of sweetbriar rose known as Rosier rouille (Rosa rubiginosa).
