Description

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars. This group of plants can be shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. The flowers vary in size and shape and have an abundance of colour varieties, from white to yellows and reds.

Most species are native to Asia, with some also native to Europe, North America and northwestern Africa.

Commonly associated with love and romance, the rose has a long and illustrious history. Since Roman times, rose petals have been used as confetti for celebrations and to scent perfumes. In the 17th century, they were so sought-after that royalty used them as legal tender!
