Classification of roses, characteristics of groups

Groups of roses, their classification and representatives were studied in school. The rose is probably the most divine flower (at least on the territory of our country, and the entire post-Soviet space). This plant is loved by almost all women. The unprecedented beauty and unique aroma made it unique, one might say, a queen among the rest of the flowers. What are the roses, the classification of culture and the characteristics of groups, photos and other useful information - this and many other things are told in this article.

History of occurrence

Rose is truly one of the most elegant colors. Having smooth lines, saturated, deep shades and pleasant aroma, it has won itself the main place in the hearts of all gardeners.

The history of the appearance of a rose on Earth is very interesting. It is believed that in ancient times, the goddess Flora lived, who was very fond of the god Amur. It is thanks to her love that the flower, which is magical in its beauty and enveloping its fragrance, appeared. Rose symbolized for Flora joy and sadness from love at the same time.

Even in ancient Greece, the rose was considered a plant of dignity, which can not only calm the excitement of the heart, help the soul to be refreshed, but also to give happiness and long years of life. In ancient Rome, the streets were decorated with roses during various celebrations. Roses were brought to Russia for the first time by Peter I, and later they were greatly loved by Catherine II.

Description of the rose

The rose grows on all continents, it is rich in different varieties and forms. It refers to the family of Rosaceae, this is a collective concept of flowers, which originate from the genus of dog-rose flowers. Even in the polar circle there is this beautiful flower, here it is represented by a kind of needley rose, and in the tropics a very delicate yellow rose blossoms.

The height of a rose can vary from twenty centimeters in a miniature variety and up to six meters in roses that have a long weaving and are most often grown in hot regions. The stems of roses can be covered with small but prickly thorns or remain completely naked. This flower has a dense, bright foliage, its colors vary depending on the variety: from light-green to maroon.

Buds of roses can have a diameter from one and a half to twenty centimeters, and the number of petals in them also varies - from seven in small flowers to seventy in dichromatic varieties. The color of the buds is so diverse that it is difficult even to list all the shades that roses can have: red, apricot, and even blue colors, as well as their shades.

Not all roses have a bright scent, some may not smell at all. Others spread around themselves such a smell, which can only be compared with oriental incense.

Classification of the plant "rose" in biology now has more than fifteen thousand different kinds of roses. Some of the most common groups should be considered.

Description of the group Rugosa

This group of roses is a direct descendant of common dogrose. Roses of this group have buds of different types - from simple to terry. Some varieties have more than a hundred petals in one bud.

They blossom approximately from the middle of June and to the first frosts (two or three times per season).

The scientific classification of the rose of the named group also exists in the same name.
