It was of a civil and military chracter, with the purpose of recognizinge those that had “stood out” for their fealtry to the emperor and services to the nation. So it became an imperial symbol and, subsequently, d. Pedro II began using it as part of his dress and uniform, as can be noted from the iconography of this period. We would like to mention here that d. Amélia was d. Pedro I´s second wife and so stepmother to d. Pedro II., The Order of the Rose was created by decree by d.
