"rose trémière" aka "hollyhock"

I've wondered about the name of this flower in French and in English so before posting this, I consulted my big French and English dictionairies plus Google, and this is what I found:
"rose trémière" is a corruption of "rose d'Outremer" (overseas) because it was brought back from the East in the 12th and 13th centuries.
"hollyhock" is 16C = holy + hock from Old English hoc = mallow
I also found that in the US it's called rose mallow and no doubt my American friends on 365 will put me right on this.

As for today's word, all of the daily strategies I have in place to keep well contribute to my independence and 365 is very much one of these.

@judithg

I think they are probably regarded basically as weeds in France too.

A hollyhock by any other name! I quite like Stokroos too. @pyrrhula Interesting information and so pleased 365 helps, it's that kind of website!

@ivan Yes, 365 is great. And I also like the stick rose (very apt!)

@tishpics

Thank you, glad you liked it. I must admit I got a bit engrossed with the etymology and the link with independence (although very true) occurred to me afterwards.

[Hazel]

Thank you everybody for your appreciation of the hollyhock - a bit like the fishing huts, they fascinate me - but are not scary!!
