Roses are perennial flowering shrubs and vines of the genus Rosa and family Rosaceae. Most roses are originally native to Asia, but wild species can be found throughout most of the northern hemisphere in North America, Europe and northern Africa.
Types
There are over 100 species of roses in existence, with countless cultivated varieties of different colors within those species.
Features
Wild roses generally have five petals, while cultivated roses have more, often arranged in multiple petal sets. Many species of both wild and cultivated roses have thorns on their stems, though some have been bred without them.
History
Roses have been considered important for millennia, and have even been found in the tombs of ancient Egyptians. Cultivation of roses dates back to ancient Persia, and the hybridization of cultivated roses began in earnest in England in the 15th century.
Symbolism
Different colors of roses have different meanings in contemporary culture. Red roses, for example, have long been the symbol of love and passion, while white roses symbolize purity and humility.
Fun Fact
The largest exporter of cultivated roses is the Netherlands, where a total of 8,000 hectares (about 19,768.5 acres) is devoted to growing roses.
The History of Roses
There are fossil records dating roses back some 35 million years. Roses are native to the United States. Montana and Oregon have the oldest rose fossils. The rose has the most complex family tree of any known flower species with over 30,000 varieties.
Roses were first cultivated 5,000 years ago in Asian gardens. In the Orient, ladies carried rose petals in their purses and gentlemen made wine and herbal medicine with the flowers. Along with the name Orchid, Rose is one of the most popular names for girls in China. Confucius wrote that the emperor of China owned over 600 books on the cultivation of roses.
Rose MeaningsRoses were introduced to Europe during the Roman Empire and were thereafter used for ornamental purposes. Romans were known to carpet huge banquet halls with rose petals. Experts divide roses into two groups. “Old roses” are those cultivated in Europe before 1800. “Modern roses” have been cultivated since about the turn of the 19th century. Before cultivation, roses typically bloomed only once per year. Now roses are blooming somewhere every day of the year. (Photo courtesy of Oliver Herold, Wikimedia Commons)
Roses and Modern Culture
Over 4,000 songs have been written about roses. Roses are also the inspiration for everything from wallpaper to china patterns to fabric designs. Roses are a recurring theme in artwork, furniture, architecture and poetry.
Shakespeare mentions the rose at least 70 times in his plays and sonnets: “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” (Romeo and Juliet); “Of all flowers, methinks a rose is best” (The Two Noble Kinsmen) and “When I have plucked the rose, I cannot give it vital growth again” (Othello).
Rse SymbolismRoses are emblems of England and New York City. Modern rose symbolism is intimately connected to the color of the flower. Red roses symbolize love, remembrance, passion. White roses symbolize purity. Pink roses symbolize happiness. The essential oils from roses used for perfumes are more expensive than the oils of any other flower. The rose is, indeed, the queen of all flowers.
The Meaning of Roses in Chinese Art
