Ghost of a Rose is the 4th studio album by the folk rock group Blackmore's Night, released June 30, 2003. It features covers of Joan Baez's "Diamonds and Rust", and Jethro Tull's "Rainbow Blues".
Allusive to the alchemical feat of palingenesis by Paracelsus, the phrase "ghost of a rose" also occurs in the penultimate paragraph of the physician-philosopher Thomas Browne's 1658 discourse The Garden of Cyrus which concludes, "...and though in the Bed of Cleopatra, can hardly with any delight raise up the ghost of a Rose".
