Roses

When it comes to roses, the first thing to talk about is their color and shape.

Roses are one of the most beautiful flowers in the world.

It is impossible to say how many colors this flower can have.

There are different shades of red, yellow, pink, purple, white, orange.

Nowadays again hybrid roses are being planted which have multiple colors

on the petals of the same flower. But there is no such thing as a black rose.

The color of what is known as black rose is actually very deep red. Blue roses

are also not normal, artificial. That is the genius of genetic engineering.

Blue roses are made by inserting a pigment -producing gene called delphinid

from other plants into roses.

There are differences in the shape of the flowers of different varieties of roses.

The largest rose ever bloomed in California, USA.

This pink flower was about 33 inches in diameter.

On the other hand, one of the smallest roses has no bud size larger than a grain of rice.

Rose petals contain aromatic alcohols such as citronellol, geraniol, and nerol.

These are responsible for the sweet aroma of roses

Rose trees

Roses belong to the Rosaceae family and the genus Rosa [Wikipedia].

There are at least 100 species of rose trees in the world.

Each species again has innumerable varieties according to color and size.

It is estimated that there are at least 13,000 varieties of roses in the world.

Roses are very ancient plants. The oldest fossils found in the wild rose are about 350,000 years old.

It is found in Colorado, USA.

Another interesting fact about roses. Originally, the wild rose had only 5 petals.

So many petals of modern roses have been made possible by the growth of selected

lineages over thousands of years. The cultivation of roses in the garden from wild

roses began at least 5000 years ago. Many believe that the first rose cultivation began in ancient Iran.

Different species of rose trees do not have the same size.

The largest rose bush in the world is in the US state of Arizona.

This white rose bush spreads about 9000 square feet. On the other hand,

rose trees up to 23 feet high have also been seen.

In general, roses live for many years. The oldest living rose tree in the world grew

in a church in the German city of Hildesheim. The tree is at least 1200 years old.

Although the church was destroyed by Allied bombs during World War II, the rose tree did not die.

This tree of extraordinary vitality is a wonder of the world.

The use of roses

Roses are not just used as flowers for beauty. Roses are more useful.

For example, rose petals are made from excellent perfumes, rose water, etc. In some countries,

jams and jellies are also made from roses. Roses are rich in several vitamins, including vitamin C.

Rose lineage growth

Roses can also have fruits and seeds. The fruits are usually red when ripe,

but black and deep purple fruits are also seen.

Usually the seed does not grow from the seeds of the rose tree in the garden.

Roses are propagated by branch pens, chess pens, cocoon pens and eye pens.

However rose seedlings are also produced by producing seeds in a special way to create new varieties.

Rose fight!

The rose is a symbol of love and beauty. Can the hen flower ever be a symbol of war and army?

Such strange events have happened in history. York and Lancaster fought a

bitter 32-year war for control of 15th-century England. The symbol of war in York was

the white rose and the symbol of Lancaster was the red rose. The war is known as

the 'War of Roses' as the symbol of both sides is the rose.

But today we would never want the rose to be a symbol of war.

Instead, we want the rose to be just a symbol of love. We want love to flourish

in the world instead of hatred and animosity. Just like a rose blossoms.

Thank You All.
