About plant
A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the
family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred
species and tens of thousands of cultivars. 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
colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are
native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America,
and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and
hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant.
Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose
plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that
can reach seven meters in height. Different species
hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the
wide range of garden roses.
