Overview
With their fragrance, color and beautiful blossoms, roses have been well-loved by people for centuries, so much so that thousands of kinds exist, created by devoted fans.
Features
Rose flowers are complete and perfect--complete because they contain all four possible parts of a flower (sepals, petals, stamen and carpels) and perfect because they are both male and female in one flower.
Cut Roses
Cut roses sold by florists are specially grown in greenhouses and the tropics and don't usually work well in gardens. Some varieties like Bridal White will work in gardens.
Deadheading
Cutting the spent flowers off rose plants, a practice known as deadheading, encourages the plant to produce more flowers.
Fruit
When rose flowers are pollinated, they produce fruit. These fruits are called rose hips. The flower won't produce hips if you cut it.
Edible Petals
Rose petals are edible, as are hips. Cut off the white part at the bottom of each petal, which is bitter. Do not use the petals or hips of plants if they have been exposed to chemicals.
Colors
Roses come in many colors. Two colors that flowers will not display are blue and black. "Black" roses are actually a very dark red. "Blue" roses are actually a very light purple.
Cultivation
Roses do exceptionally well when grown in climates that are temperate. Some roses (particularly Asian ones) also thrive in subtropical climates. They require daily direct sunlight (approximately six hours, preferable in the morning). Soils that are well-drained are ideal for rose cultivation. Roses should be watered about two times a week. It is recommended to avoid watering roses late at night, as it could encourage powdery mildew to develop.
Uses
Roses are popular for their attractive and fragrant flowers. They are cultivated as flowering and garden shrubs, and also as cut flowers. Some roses are also grown for their ornamental thorns or fragrant foliage, such as Rosa sericea and Rosa rubiginosa. Roses are also used to manufacture perfumes. Some species of roses produce rosehips, which are used for vitamin C (they can be eaten or used to make syrup).
Diseases and Pests
As with any type of plant, there are various diseases and pests that affect and can destroy roses. Some common rose afflictions include black spot, rust and powdery mildew. Some pests that could be bothersome or harmful to roses are Japanese beetles, aphids, moths and butterflies.
Varieties
Some popular varieties of roses include the floribunda, pernetiana, hybrid tea, hybrid musk, hybrid perpetual, Bourbon, Portland, polyantha, noisette, Provence, alba, Damask, Gallica, miniature, grandiflora and hybrid rugosa.
The rose has been a symbol of love, beauty, even war and politics from way back in time. The variety, color and even number of Roses carry symbolic meanings. The Rose is most popularly known as the flower of love, particularly Red Rose.
Roses have been the most popular choice of flowers for the purpose of gifting across the world. They also act as a great addition to home and office decor. A bunch of roses or even a single rose works wonders aesthetically and considerably enlivens a place. Besides fresh cut roses, artificial flowers like silk roses in different colors are also widely used as decoration.
