A
rose is a woody
perennial flowering plant of the
genus Rosa, in the family
Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over a 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,
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.

The name
rose comes from French, itself from Latin
rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from
Oscan, from
Greek ρόδον
rhódon (
Aeolic βρόδον
wródon), itself borrowed from
Old Persian wrd- (
wurdi), related to
Avestan varəδa,
Sogdian ward,
Parthian wâr.
