Roses are a popular subject in art and appear in portraits, illustrations, on stamps, as ornaments or as architectural elements. Luxembourg-born Belgian artist and botanist Pierre-Joseph Redouté is known for his detailed watercolours of flowers, especially roses. Roses are associated with Aphrodite, Adonis and Eros. Rose water is a protective agent worn on clothing. Rose petals can be added to charms against the evil eye. White roses worn at weddings bring happiness and security to the couple. Mixed buds – buds that produce both leaves and flowers; usual type of bud on roses; present in the axils of the leaves. Rose creams (rose-flavoured fondant coated in chocolate and often topped with a crystallised rose petal) are a traditional English confectionery available from many manufacturers in the UK. Rose 1. A flower and shrub of all species of the genus Rosa, of which there are many species, mainly found in the northern hemisphere Roses are shrubs with pinnate leaves and usually thorny stems. The flowers are large and, in the wild, have five petals of a color that varies from dark pink to white or sometimes yellow. Thanks to cultivation and hybridization, the number of petals is significantly increased and the natural fragrance is improved.
In this way, many different classes of roses were formed, such as Banksia, Baurbon, Boursalt, Porzellan, Hazelnut, Hybrid perpetual, etc., with a variety of varieties in almost all classes. 2. A knot of ribbon formed like a rose; a pink bow; Especially a rosette. The one worn on the shoe. 3. A rosette. See rosette below. 4. A perforated nozzle, such as a hose, spout, etc., to distribute water in thin nozzles; a pink column; Also a sieve at the foot of a pump.
5. (Science: Medicine) Erysipelas. 6. The map of the deckhand`s compass; Also a circular map with radiating lines used in other instruments. 7. The color of a rose; pinkish; rose. 8. A diamond. See Rose Diamond below. Cabbage rose, porcelain rose, etc.
See cabbage, porcelain, etc. Corn rose, quarrels between the houses of York and Lancaster, the white rose with 4 names is the insignia of the House of York and the red rose of the House of Lancaster. Origin: AS. Rose, L. Rosa, probably similar to gr, armor. Vard, OPer. Vareda; and perhaps to E. Wort: cf. F. Rose, from Latin. Cf. Copperas, Rhododendron.
The oldest rose remains come from the Late Eocene Florissant Formation in Colorado. [4] Roses were present in Europe at the beginning of the Oligocene. [5] Roses can become infected with a number of diseases, most of which are caused by fungi. Powdery mildew appears as a grayish-white mold-like growth on the surface of young leaves and stems. The black spot fungus appears as visible black spots on the leaves, causing them to fall off. Rust is also a common disease of roses. Aphids are a common pest on leaves and young stems. The majority of ornamental roses are hybrids bred for their flowers. Few roses, mostly species-rich, are grown for their attractive or fragrant foliage (such as Rosa glauca and Rosa rubiginosa), ornamental thorns (such as Rosa sericea) or striking fruits (such as Rosa moyesii).
But we are finally beginning to understand that these things are only important for our own consciousness, which is only like a ball of dew on a rose petal, of which there will be no trace at noon. Chalice – One of the units of the chalice. It is the green shells of a flower bud that open to reveal the petals of the rose. Roses usually have 5 sepals. Since the 1400s, Franciscans have had a crown of the seven joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary. [26] In the 1400s and 1500s, the Carthusians promoted the idea of sacred mysteries associated with the symbol of the rose and rose gardens. [26] Albrecht Dürer`s painting The Feast of the Rosary (1506) shows the Virgin Mary distributing garlands of roses to her faithful. [26] Wild roses are host plants for a number of pests and diseases. Many of them involve other plants, including other genera of Rosaceae. In temperate climates, cut roses are often grown in greenhouses, and in warmer countries, they can also be grown indoors to ensure that flowers are not damaged by the weather and that pest and disease control can be carried out effectively. Some tropical countries produce significant quantities that are shipped by air to markets around the world. [11] The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rosehip.
Many native varieties do not produce hips because the flowers are so tight that they do not provide access to pollination. The hips of most species are red, but some (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip consists of a fleshy outer layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5 to 160 “seeds” (technically dry solitary fruits, called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine but stiff hairs. Rosehips of some species, especially rosehips (Rosa canina) and rugosarose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, one of the richest sources of all plants. The hips are eaten by fruit birds such as thrushes and wax wings, which then scatter the seeds in their feces. Some birds, especially finches, also eat the seeds.
