The Blooming Rose

The Blooming Rose is a brothel located in Hightown, in the Red Lantern District. According to Madam Lusine, they provide "the royal treatment" for 2 sovreigns, "standard services" for 1 sovreign and for 50 silver "someone pretends to like you for an hour."

Upon giving the Madam the requested amount of gold, she instructs you to browse through the "companions" in the lounge and choose the one you like. Which companions you can choose from is determined by how much you spent. For the royal treatment there are two elven women and one human man. The standard service allows a choice between an elven woman, a human man and a dwarven man. For 50 silver you get to select between an elf female, elf male, or human male. Each companion delivers a different one-liner about Hawke being a "hardened soldier" or having "such a long sword," after which the screen cuts to a view of Hawke fastening his pants. His party members enter the room and control is returned to you.

After you have made use of their services once, you are given an additional option depending on your gender. The male Hawke will get the option of "something surprising." Upon selecting this, Hawke says "Give me something that will blow my mind!" The screen fades out, and when it comes back Hawke and his companions are standing in front of a fully clothed man who finishes his sentence with "...and he was dead the entire time!" After a pause, Hawke says "...that was DEFINITELY not what I was expecting."

The female Hawke can make a request of the "bad girl special" where she asks the Matron for "something special just for girls who have been bad." The Matron says she has just the thing. After the fade out, you and your companions appear in front of a female Chantry priest who speaks of the forgiveness of sins. After the sermon is over, Hawke (with aggressive behavior) will say "That did NOT just happen."
