Description

A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colors ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.[
The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from Greek Rohodon , related to Old Persian word-, Avestan varəda, Sogdian ward, Parthian Armenian vard.

"Roses, the most beautiful flower on our earth. Roses, the only flower to show your love. Roses, red or yellow, or pink or orange. Roses, it doesn't matter what color they are. Roses, they still are the most beautiful flower on our earth..." From the poem "Roses" by Eric Mokrzycki.
