Why is this recipe called "rose petal" rolls? Just curious, never heard of this term. Thanks, Kim

I wish I could seem smart and give the reason for their name, but really I have no idea why they're called "Rose Petal" Rolls. My mother and I discovered this recipe about 20 years ago, and I've always wondered about their name, too.
