This paper presents a Lutheran Danish humanist and one of his works, of which very little has been known to date. It provides a descriptive analysis of the symbolic meanings of the rose in Iohannes Sylvius’s Oratio de rosis. The article discusses the author, the genesis of the work and its sources, alongside the symbolic motives of the rose. I conclude that the speech belongs to the genre of epideictic oratory (the genus demonstrativum) and aims to praise the patron of the author, Holger Rosenkranz.
