Rose Plant Description

A rose plant is a woody perennial shrub known for its beautiful, fragrant flowers. It typically has thorny stems, compound leaves made up of several toothed leaflets, and blooms that range in color from red, pink, white, yellow, and orange to rare purples and even multi-colored varieties.

Roses produce layered petals arranged in a circular pattern, creating their iconic, elegant shape. Many varieties are highly aromatic, releasing a sweet, distinctive fragrance.

Rose plants grow in a wide range of sizes—from compact miniature bushes to tall climbing varieties. They bloom in cycles throughout the growing season and thrive best in sunny locations with well-drained soil.

Known as symbols of love, beauty, and devotion, roses are both ornamental garden favorites and an important source of essential oils, perfumes, and cut flowers.
