The rose is one of the loveliest flowers that exist, one that symbolizes both fragrance and beauty. Roses are one of the most popular shrubs used in gardens and are also among the most common flowers sold by florists. Economically, roses are of great importance for both it's use in perfume and as a harvested crop for the floral industry.

The rose family is one of the most important in the plant kingdom. There are over two thousand species of trees, shrubs, and herbs in the rose family and thousands of varieties of roses developed for reasons such as bloom shape, size, and lack of thorns among other things.

Plants of this family also provide us with helpful products like oil of bitter almonds and fine woods used in making cabinets and furniture.

Portland, Oregon is noted for its roses and has a rose festival every year. Many other cities throughout the world also take part in similar yearly rose celebrations.
