Flowers: Rose and Old Garden Roses
Flowers are colorful and all over. Bees like to pollinate them which produces more flowers
When I think of roses, I think of those prickly things on the stem, called thorns. Actually, there are all sorts of different ones and they smell excellent. Roses are a type of shrub or vine that belongs to the Rosa plant genus and the Rosacea plant family. Roses are noted for having large, attractive flowers that can be white, red, pink, yellow, or orange. Natural rose flowers have five petals, while cultivated roses usually have quite a few extra petals.
My dad says bush roses grow into a large bush that can reach up to 6 feet tall. Well, that is only one of the types. Climbing roses have long stems that need to attach to a trellis or post. Shrub roses grow vertically and can reach up to 12 feet tall, while ground cover roses grow horizontally over the ground… Old garden roses are those varieties that were cultivated before 1863, and modern day roses are those that were crated after 1867.
Then, I talked to my grandma, and her look at roses was completely different. She thinks they are beautiful, and stand for love and peace. She has them planted in only one spot at her home, under a statue of the Virgin Mary in her front yard. Grandma has a lot of different kinds of flowers, but when the first rose bud starts to open it brings a smile to her face that no one can start to describe. My grandma gets roses from my family every year for her birthday.
I like roses because they smell good and they seem to make people smile when the receive them from someone they like or love. Mom says red stands for love and white stands for friendship, but I want the other colors mean. I am so glad that roses are still around, after all these years. I am also glad for roses, so people can still give them to their loved ones. It feels like roses have been a big part of my life and, my family’s life for generations and generations to come.
