Isabel Flores de Oliva, en religion Rose de Lima (1586-1617), est une mystique péruvienne, la première sainte du Nouveau Monde.

Rose of Lima, TOSD (born Isabel Flores de Oliva; 20 April 1586 – 24 August 1617) (Latin: Rosa Limana, Spanish: Rosa de Lima) was a member of the Third Order of Saint Dominic in Lima, Peru, Spanish Empire, who became known for both her life of severe penance and her care of the poverty stricken of the city through her own private efforts.

Rose of Lima was born into a noble family and is the patron saint of embroidery, gardening, and the cultivation of flowers. She was the first person born in the Americas to be canonized as a saint.

As a saint, Rose of Lima has been designated a co-patroness of the Philippines, along with Pudentiana. Both saints were elevated to second-class patronage in September 1942 by Pope Pius XII, but Rose remains the primary patroness of Peru and of the local people of Latin America. Her image appears on Peru’s highest-denomination banknote.

L’église Sainte-Rose-de-Lima de Gatineau est un édifice religieux catholique situé dans le quartier de Templeton, à Gatineau.

Commencée en 1913 et terminée en 1915, l’église est nommée en l’honneur de sainte Rose de Lima (1586-1617), première sainte du Nouveau Monde. Elle est dotée d’un plan en croix latine, avec une nef à un vaisseau. Elle est construite en briques rouges, avec une toiture en bardeaux d’asphalte et un revêtement intérieur de plâtre. Elle dénote une influence « Beaux-Arts », mais avec une ornementation plutôt néo-Renaissance. Dès les suites de Vatican II, l’intérieur a subi des modifications qui lui ont fait perdre une partie de son ornementation d’origine.
