Rose
A rose is a woody permanent of the genus Rosa, contained by the
family Rosaceae. There are more than
100 species. They arise in a group of plants that can be vertical shrubs,
climbing or bringing up the rear with stems that are armed with pointed
prickles. They flowers be different in size, smells, shapes, large and in colors ranging from white , yellows,
pink and reds. Most species are from Asia, with smaller numbers from Europe,
North America, and northwest Africa.
The leaves are born naturally on the stem. In most species they have stem’s long 5 until 15 centimetres. Usually the leaves have a jagged boundaries, and continously a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. The flowers of most species have five petals, but in the case of Rosa sericea, it has only four petals. Each petal is divided into two separate lobes and is generally white , pink, yellow or red.

While
the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "Thorns", they
are technically prickles – out growths of the epidermis (the outer layer of
tissue of the stem). Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, roomates
support the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some
species such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia have closely packed
straight prickles, possibly an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but
also possibly an adaptation to lock in wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion
and protect their roots. Although the presence of prickles, roses are
frequently browsed by deer.
Some
species of roses have only remnant prickles that have no points. Roses are best
known as decoration plants grown for their flowers in the garden and commonly indoors.
They have been also used for perfume and commercial cut flower crops. Some are
used as a countryside plants, for hedging and for other effective purposes such
as slope stabilization. They also have a little usefulness by medical.
