There are over 100 species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/ish_box][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row bg_color=””][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]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. 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 the development of the wide range of garden roses.[/vc_column_text][ish_headline tag_size=”h3″ align=”left” color=”color5″]Ornamental plants[/ish_headline][vc_column_text]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 Rosa rubiginosa), ornamental thorns (such as Rosa sericea) or for their showy fruit (such as Rosa moyesii).[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Ornamental roses have been cultivated for millennia, with the earliest known cultivation known to date from at least 500 BC in Mediterranean countries, Persia, and China. Many thousands of 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 mutated into additional petals.[/vc_column_text][ish_image image=”200″ stretch_image=”yes” link_type=”image” show_caption=”image”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row vertical_align=”middle” bg_color=””][vc_column width=”1/2″][ish_headline tag_size=”h3″ align=”center” color=”color5″]Food and drink[/ish_headline][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Rose hips are occasionally made into jam, jelly, marmalade, and soup or are brewed for tea, primarily for their high vitamin C content. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup. Rose hips are also used to produce Rose hip seed oil, which is used in skin products and some makeup products.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row vertical_align=”middle” bg_color=””][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text align=”right”]The rose hip, usually from R. canina, is used as a minor source of Vitamin C. The fruits of many species have significant levels of vitamins and have been used as a food supplement. Many roses have been used in herbal and folk medicines. Rosa chinensis has long been used in Chinese traditional medicine. This and other species have been used for stomach problems, and are being investigated for controlling cancer growth.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column show_as_first=”yes” width=”1/2″][ish_headline tag_size=”h3″ align=”center” color=”color5″]Medicine[/ish_headline][/vc_column][/vc_row]
