The cultivar has large flowers of a light yellow to cream color, slightly flushed at the petal edges with crimson-pink. It is hardy and vigorous and relatively resistant to disease, making it popular in gardens as well as in
88-691: A day considered a turning point in the Second World War in Europe. Later that year Peace roses were given to each of the delegations at the inaugural meeting of the United Nations in San Francisco , each with a note that read: Peter Beales , English rose grower and expert, said in his book Roses : 'Mme A. Meilland' forms elegant buds that open to large, cupped flowers with a high-centered form and an average diameter of 15 cm (5.9 in). Their color
132-461: A matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the dog rose ( Rosa canina ) and rugosa rose ( R. rugosa ), are very rich in vitamin C , among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings , which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. The sharp growths along a rose stem, though commonly called "thorns", are technically prickles , outgrowths of
176-451: A mixture of crimson and apricot, while 'Kronenbourg' (syn. 'Flaming Peace', McGredy 1966) has red petals with yellow backs, creating an interesting contrast. It is also used in the hybridization of new cultivars, and played a role in the development of well known cultivars such as 'Garden Party' (Swim, 1959), 'Super Star' (Tantau, 1960), and 'Love and Peace' (Lim & Twomey, 1991).

220-531: Is a combination of pale yellow and crimson edges that depends on the location, the weather and changes as the flower fades. The durable flowers are very full, with 40 to 43 petals, survive rainy periods, and have a sweet and fruity fragrance that varies in its strength from mild to strong. The cultivar flowers continuously throughout the season up to the first frost. The vigorous shrub grows 120 to 200 cm (4 to 6 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft) high and 90 to 125 cm (2 ft 11 in to 4 ft 1 in) wide,
264-476: Is common in the Indian subcontinent . The leaves and washed roots are also sometimes used to make tea. In France, there is much use of rose syrup , most commonly made from an extract of rose petals. In the Indian subcontinent , Rooh Afza , a concentrated squash made with roses, is popular, as are rose-flavoured frozen desserts such as ice cream and kulfi . The flower stems and young shoots are edible, as are
308-424: Is commonly used. The oil is transparent pale yellow or yellow-grey in colour. 'Rose Absolute' is solvent-extracted with hexane and produces a darker oil, dark yellow to orange in colour. The weight of oil extracted is about one three-thousandth to one six-thousandth of the weight of the flowers; for example, about two thousand flowers are required to produce one gram of oil. The main constituents of attar of roses are
352-592: Is composed of 140–180 species and divided into four subgenera: Some birds, particularly finches , eat the seeds. Wild roses are host plants for a number of pests and diseases. Many of these affect other plants, including other genera of the Rosaceae . Cultivated roses are often subject to severe damage from insect , arachnid and fungal pests and diseases. In many cases they cannot be usefully grown without regular treatment to control these problems. Roses are best known as ornamental plants grown for their flowers in
396-984: Is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa ( / ˈ r oʊ z ə / ), in the family Rosaceae ( / r oʊ ˈ z eɪ s iː ˌ iː / ), or the flower it bears.

They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs , climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles . Their 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 Northwest 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
440-416: Is known for his detailed watercolours of flowers, particularly roses. Henri Fantin-Latour was also a prolific painter of still life, particularly flowers including roses. The rose 'Fantin-Latour' was named after the artist. Other impressionists including Claude Monet , Paul Cézanne and Pierre-Auguste Renoir have paintings of roses among their works. In the 19th century, for example, artists associated
484-641: Is the formal cultivar name. Other names are considered by the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants as trade or selling names . In Italy it was called Gioia (Italian for "joy"), in Germany Gloria Dei (Latin for "glory of God") and in the US, Sweden, and Norway Peace . The rose eventually became known as Peace . In early 1945 rose grower Meilland wrote to Field Marshal Alan Brooke (later Viscount Alanbrooke ) to thank him for his key part in

Diarrhodon (Gr διάρροδον, "compound of roses", from ῥόδων, "of roses" ) is a name given to various compounds in which red roses are an ingredient. The long cultural history of the rose has led to it being used often as a symbol. In ancient Greece , the rose was closely associated with the goddess Aphrodite . In the Iliad , Aphrodite protects the body of Hector using
572-515: Is used in skin products and some makeup products. Rose water has a very distinctive flavour and is used in Middle Eastern , Persian , and South Asian cuisine —especially in sweets such as Turkish delight , barfi , baklava , halva , gulab jamun , knafeh , and nougat . Rose petals or flower buds are sometimes used to flavour ordinary tea , or combined with other herbs to make herbal teas . A sweet preserve of rose petals called gulkand
616-429: Is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa omeiensis and Rosa sericea , four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes . Roses are insect-pollinated in nature. The aggregate fruit of

Meilland' is very versatile—it is used as cut rose and as garden rose, solitarily or in groups, as standard rose to 90 cm (3.0 ft) high, or in containers. 'Mme A. Meilland' has been granted numerous awards, starting with
704-746: The Houses of York and Lancaster in a conflict known as the Wars of the Roses . Subsequently roses of the corresponding colours have been used a emblems for the English counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire . The Tudor rose combines the colours of the roses of York and Lancaster, and is an emblem of then Tudor dynasty and of England . Roses are a favored subject in art and appear in portraits, illustrations, on stamps, as ornaments or as architectural elements. The Luxembourg-born Belgian artist and botanist Pierre-Joseph Redouté
748-594: The U.S. Postal Service issued a new Forever stamp celebrating the Peace Rose. The dedication ceremony was held at The Gardens of the American Rose Center in Shreveport, Louisiana . As an often cultivated plant, several sports of 'Mme A. Meilland' are known. 'Climbing Peace' ( Kordes 1951) has slightly bigger flowers but flowers less well, 'Chicago Peace' (Johnston 1962) differs mainly in its richer colors with
792-572: The epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem), unlike true thorns, which are modified stems . Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and [R. pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight prickles, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes ). Despite
836-615: The garden and sometimes indoors. They have also been used for commercial perfumery and commercial cut flower crops. Some are used as landscape plants, for hedging and for other utilitarian purposes such as game cover and slope stabilization. The majority of ornamental roses are hybrids that were bred for their flowers. A few, mostly species roses are grown for attractive or scented foliage (such as Rosa glauca and R. rubiginosa ), ornamental thorns (such as R. sericea ) or for their showy fruit (such as R. moyesii ). Ornamental roses have been cultivated for millennia, with

As long ago as 1840 a collection numbering over one thousand different cultivars , varieties and species was possible when a rosarium was planted by Loddiges nursery for Abney Park Cemetery , an early Victorian garden cemetery and arboretum in England. Roses are a popular crop for both domestic and commercial cut flowers . Generally they are harvested and cut when in bud, and held in refrigerated conditions until ready for display at their point of sale. In temperate climates, cut roses are often grown in greenhouses , and in warmer countries they may also be grown under cover in order to ensure that
1276-499: The development of the wide range of garden roses . The name rose comes from Latin rosa , which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan , from Greek ῥόδον rhódon ( Aeolic βρόδον wródon ), itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd- ( wurdi ), related to Avestan varəδa , Sogdian ward , Parthian wâr .

1320-541: The earliest known cultivation known to date from at least 500 BC in Mediterranean countries, Persia , and China. It is estimated that 30 to 35 thousand rose hybrids and cultivars have been bred and selected for garden use as flowering plants. Most are double-flowered with many or all of the stamens having morphed into additional petals . In the early 19th century the Empress Josephine of France patronized
1364-669: The early Oligocene . Today's garden roses come from 18th-century China. Among the old Chinese garden roses, the Old Blush group is the most primitive, while newer groups are the most diverse. A study of the patterns of natural selection in the genome of roses indicated that genes related to DNA damage repair and stress adaptation have been positively selected, likely during their domestication. This rapid evolution may reflect an adaptation to genome confliction resulting from frequent intra- and inter-species hybridization and switching environmental conditions of growth. The genus Rosa

1408-625: The floral trade. It was developed by French horticulturist Francis Meilland , in the years 1935 to 1939. When Meilland foresaw the German invasion of France , he sent cuttings to friends in Italy, Turkey, Germany, and the United States to protect the new rose. It is said that it was sent to the US on the last plane available before the German invasion, where it was safely propagated by the Conard Pyle Co. during
1452-459: The flowers are not damaged by weather and that pest and disease control can be carried out effectively. Significant quantities are grown in some tropical countries, and these are shipped by air to markets across the world.

Rose creams (rose-flavoured fondant covered in chocolate , often topped with a crystallised rose petal) are a traditional English confectionery widely available from numerous producers in the UK. Under the American Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act , there are only certain Rosa species, varieties, and parts are listed as generally recognized as safe (GRAS). The rose hip , usually from R. canina ,
1716-642: The presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer . A few species of roses have only vestigial prickles that have no points. Plant geneticist Zachary Lippman of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory found that prickles are controlled by the LOG gene. Blocking the LOG gene in roses reduced the thorns (large prickles) into tiny buds. The oldest remains of roses are from the Late Eocene Florissant Formation of Colorado. Roses were present in Europe by
1760-466: The rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip . Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination . The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia ) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium , which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes ) embedded in

The rose symbol eventually led to the creation of
1936-416: Was hybridized from the hybrid tea 'Margaret McGredy' and an unnamed seedling. Because Meilland had sent out his cuttings just before the war, communication between the cultivators was not possible, which is why the rose received different names.
