the normal appearance of the heraldic rose is a five-petaled rose, mimicking the look of a wild rose on a hedgerow. it is shown singly and full-faced. it most commonly has yellow seeds in the center and five green barbs as backing; such a rose is blazoned as "barbed and seeded proper". if the seeds and barbs are of a different colour, then the rose is barbed and seeded of that/those tinctures. the rose of lippe shown above, for example, is blazoned "a rose gules, barbed and seeded or."
