Following is a Salutation to Santa Rosa preceding her novena, published in Lima in 1902:
“God keep thee, O admirable virgin and patron of ours, Rose of Saint Mary!
“God save thee, joy of the world, glory of the city, star of Lima, crown of the fatherland, most rich gold of Peru, treasure of the Indies!
“God save thee, flower of the church, rose of humility, white lily of purity, olive of peace, fire of charity, most precious pearl, most beautiful dove!
“We salute thee, O most loved spouse of the Heart of Jesus! Much cherished daughter of most Holy Mary, living image of thy mistress Catherine.
“We praise thee, O example of penitence! Chosen from thousands, patron of a new world.
“We bless thee, O Most Fragrant Rose, Most Precious Rose, Most Innocent Rose, Most Pure Rose, Most Illustrious Rose, Most Holy Rose, Most Glorious Rose!
“Rosa fragrantísima, Rosa inocentísima, Rosa purísima, Rosa ilustrísima, Rosa santísima, Rosa gloriosísima!”
