I love all flowers, but especially roses. Growing up, our garden was filled with them - all different types and colors.
I love the rose! Its considered a woody perennial plant of the Rosa genus
Interesting. My Mom used to cut our roses back in the Fall and they'd start pushing out again in Spring. Do you know where the rose originated?
They are native to Asia but there are some that came from europe, north america, and africa.
Asia, hmm. I guess I always associated them with England - English country garden sort of stuff. Do you grow roses?
Rose
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 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
very cramped. In the yard my mother, my father, and I each had a garden. My mother's taste inclined to roses and spring flowers, and I had ordinary things like Zinnias and bluets, but the glory of our yard was my father's dahlias. They bloomed in wonderful, brilliant colors, and the blossoms were as large as dinner plates. I remember the care with which he sorted the bulbs and stored them in the basement over the winter"""."
