Story set in the Kingdom of Rhodonthea, in which live human/rose hybrids; they're a very survival-driven race, always in competition with others and aiming to perfectionate their race more and more. This is why the Rhodontheans discriminate their very same people with "defective" traits, known as the Weeds. Weeds are alienated from society, they are not allowed to have relationships with "normal" ones or, worst of all, to have children to avoid spreading their "bad genes" in the race. Weeds' discrimination has always been bad, but as in the last 100 years the situation got worse, and the Royal Crimson Army has made its new goal to exterminate them completely. Eglantine, a rich and noble Lady who happens to be a Weed, decided to use her economical means to provide assistance to other Weeds and to build a Rebellion to change the situation. And thus the story begins... (("Anthesis": botanical term referring to a period of change in flowers (usually associated with maturation), comes from Greek and means "blooming". ))
