What it is Filled

The genus Rosa of the rose family (Rosaceae), woody perennial flowering shrubs and climbers with prickly stems, native mainly to the Northern Hemisphere; species counts vary by taxonomic treatment (Kew reports over 300 accepted species), and there are many thousands of cultivated varieties.

Why it exists Filled

Let an agent describe roses by species, cultivar group and care, with botanical and horticultural sources.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Prickles are epidermal outgrowths, not true thorns; the hip is an accessory fruit containing achenes.
  • Subgenera include Hulthemia, Hesperrhodos, Platyrhodon and Rosa.

May
