Rose of Sharon (Rosasharn)--This name comes from The Old Testament: "Song of Solomon" 2:1
"I am the rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys."
"Beside them clinging lightly to the bars, stood Rose of Sharon, and she balanced, swaying on the balls of her feet, and took up the road shock in her knees and hams. For Rose of Sharon was pregnant and careful. Her hair, braided and wrapped around her head, made an ash-blond crown. Her round soft face, which had been voluptuous and inviting a few months ago, had already put on the barrier of pregnancy, the self-sufficient smile, the knowing perfection-look; and her plump body--full soft breasts and stomach hard hips and buttocks that swung so freely and provocatively as to invite slapping ans stroking--her whole body had become demure and serious. Her whole thought and action were direction inward on the baby. She balanced on her toes now, for the baby's sake. And the wold was pregnant to her; she thought only in terms of reproduction and of motherhood. Connie, her nineteen-year-old husband, who had married a pump, passionate hoyden, was still frightened and bewildered at the change in her, for there were no more cat fights in bed, biting and scratching with muffled giggles and final tears. There was a balanced creature who smiled shyly but very firmly at him.
