Description
Of the family Rosaceae, the rose is a perennial plant with over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. In ancient Greece it was associated with the goddess Aphrodite who created the red rose with her blood after being wounded by its thorns. “When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else.” This quote is reliably attributed to Georgia O’Keeffe, who was best known for her paintings of enlarged flowers.
