Rose Flower

Rose is one of the most beautiful of all flowers. It is a symbol of sweet smell and loveliness. Roses come in many colors, including various shades of pink, red, yellow, and white. Rose growers have not developed a blue rose, but they do grow lavender varieties. Some roses, such as the teas and hybrid teas, smell like tea or fruit.The rose has even played its part in history. In England, when the Houses of York and Lancaster were fighting for power, they chose white and red roses respec-tively for their emblems. The flowers gave their name to the War of the Roses. Rose is the national flower of England. It is also the state flower of several states in the United States.
