A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred 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. 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 north-western Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. 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. R_6504
And it is a good year for the roses this year.
Rosaceae (the latin name for the rose family) has 300 species in the wild and many cultivated species.
The woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, form a group of plants that erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip.
They are used for so many things, you name it, the rose has got it.
They are used as ornamental plants, food and drink, medicine and in art and culture,
And what about the music?
Just think about: A good year for the roses, The rose, La vie en rose and so on.
In photography the rose is probably one of the most photographed flowers, mostly macro.
I will try to show another style or two during this serie, enjoy!

A flowering crab apple tree, with plenty of flowers, Baltimore County, Maryland, USA. Note the five-petal structure, with the petals not attached, a sign that this is a member of the rose family. My flower identification web page tells me that this is Malus floribunda, a Japanese crab.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
These lovely roses were taken in our garden last summer 2023.
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. 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 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from Greek ρόδον rhódon (Aeolic βρόδον wródon), itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd- (wurdi), related to Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr.
The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. In most species they are 5 to 15 centimetres (2.0 to 5.9 in) long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. Most roses are deciduous but a few (particularly from South east Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes. Roses are insect-pollinated in nature.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
Rose thorns are actually prickles - outgrowths of the epidermis. While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are technically prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). (True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself.) Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight prickles, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses have only vestigial prickles that have no points.

Malus domestica - Kulturapfel mit massivem Bewuchs des Hemiparasiten Viscum album - Weißbeerige Mistel / Malus domestica - cultivated apple with massive growth of the hemiparasite Viscum album - white mistletoe
Es handelt sich bei der Kultur-Birne um eine alte, hybridogene Kulturpflanze, die aus mehreren in Europa und Westasien verbreiteten Wildarten entstand, wahrscheinlich zur Hauptsache aus Pyrus syriaca (Südwestasien), Pyrus pyraster (Mitteleuropa) und Pyrus nivalis (südmediterran). Ursprünglich wurde sie in Vorderasien erstmals kultiviert und gelangte früh nach Mitteleuropa, wo sie für die Jungsteinzeit im Gebiet um den Bodensee belegt ist. In Griechenland wird sie seit etwa 1000 v. Chr. angebaut, die Römer übernahmen die Kultur. Nach Ende der Römerzeit ging der Anbau zurück, sie wurde aber ab 600 n. Chr. von Klöstern und Adeligen wieder vermehrt angebaut. Ab etwa 1750 begann ein goldenes Jahrhundert für die Kulturbirne und es entstanden zahlreiche neue Sorten. /
The cultivated pear is an old, hybridised cultivated plant that originated from several wild species widespread in Europe and western Asia, probably mainly from Pyrus syriaca (south-west Asia), Pyrus pyraster (central Europe) and Pyrus nivalis (southern Mediterranean). It was originally first cultivated in the Near East and reached Central Europe early on, where it is documented from the Neolithic period in the area around Lake Constance. It has been cultivated in Greece since around 1000 BC and was adopted by the Romans. After the end of the Roman period, cultivation declined, but from 600 AD it was increasingly cultivated again by monasteries and aristocrats. From around 1750, a golden age began for the cultivated pear and numerous new varieties were created.

Les rosiers, ou églantiers, forment un genre de plantes, le genre Rosa de la famille des Rosaceae, originaires des régions tempérées et subtropicales de l'hémisphère nord. Ce sont des arbustes et arbrisseaux sarmenteux et épineux. Suivant les avis souvent divers des botanistes, le genre Rosa comprend de 100 à 200 espèces qui s'hybrident facilement entre elles.
Plusieurs espèces et de nombreux cultivars, issus de mutations ou de croisements, sont cultivés comme plantes ornementales pour leurs fleurs, les roses. Celles-ci constituent la plus importante catégorie des fleurs coupées, vendues chez les fleuristes, mais les rosiers sont aussi cultivés pour la production d'essence de parfumerie.

Roses, or rose hips, form a genus of plants, the genus Rosa of the Rosaceae family, native to the temperate and subtropical regions of the northern hemisphere. They are sarmentous and thorny shrubs and shrubs. According to the often diverse opinions of botanists, the genus Rosa comprises from 100 to 200 species which hybridize easily between them.
Several species and many cultivars, resulting from mutations or crosses, are cultivated as ornamental plants for their flowers, the roses. These constitute the most important category of cut flowers, sold at florists, but roses are also cultivated for the production of perfume essence.
In bloom once again, flowering quince is related to the edible quince and is part of the Rosaceae, or rose family, originating from China and Japan.
They love the sun, but they will also tolerate semi-shade and are incredibly water-wise, once established.
I love to see the disparity of the delicate flowers set against the bare, thorny stems. Truly a beautiful sight when flowering in spring time.

Rosa arvensis (Field rose):
Mediterranean entity in the narrow sense (with limited area on the Mediterranean coast: Olive area).
It grows in the woods, on the edge of the woods, up to 1,400 m s.l.m.
The flowers start to open in June. The Field Rose is white and the white buds look quite different from the buds of Rosa canina.
Crataegus monogyna, known as common hawthorn, is a species of hawthorn native to Europe, northwest Africa and western Asia. The common hawthorn is a shrub or small tree 5–14 metres tall, with a dense crown.
The flowers are produced in spring in corymbs of 5-25 together; each flower is about 10mm diameter, and has five white petals, numerous red stamens, and a single style; they are moderately fragrant. The haw is a small, oval dark red fruit about 10mm long, berry-like, but structurally a pome containing a single seed. Haws are important for wildlife in winter, particularly thrushes and waxwings (from Wikipedia).
Potentilla micranta (Rosaceae family) is a herbaceous perennial plant, with short stems, usually erect and pubescent; height of 5 to 15 cm.
Habitat: Margins of woods, forests and not too thick, bushes, walls, 0 to 1500 m.
Its areal is centered on the Mediterranean coasts, but with extensions to the north and east (the Vine area).

Von Kasachstan nach ganz Europa
Der Kulturapfel (Malus domestica Borkh.) stammt ursprünglich aus Asien. Auf der berühmten Seidenstraße kam er als Frucht oder als Samen zusammen mit Seide oder seltenen Gewürzen vom östlichen China bis ans Mittelmeer.
Wissenschaftler haben mit genomischen Analysen die Herkunft des Apfels genauer untersucht. Dazu haben sie das Genom von über 110 verschiedenen Äpfeln sowie der Birne (re-)sequenziert und verglichen. Unter den 24 untersuchten Arten waren neben 35 Sorten unseres modernen Kulturapfels auch Wildapfelarten aus Nordamerika, Europa sowie Ost- und Zentralasien. Es gelang ihnen, die Abstammungsgeschichte des Apfels zu rekonstruieren.
Ein langer Weg von Asien nach Europa
Unsere heutigen Äpfel stammen vom Asiatischen Wildapfel (Malus sieversii) ab. Die domestizierten Äpfel haben ihren Ursprung in Kasachstan im westlichen Teil des Tian-Shan-Gebirges. Auch in Xinjiang im nord-westlichen China gibt es den Wildapfel Malus sieversii. Die Studie konnte jedoch belegen, dass der in China wachsende M. sieversii ein uralter, isolierter Ökotyp des Wildapfels ist, der bei der Domestikation überhaupt keine Rolle spielte.
Auf dem Weg von Kasachstan gen Westen kreuzten sich die Wege des wilden Vorfahrens mit dem Europäischen Wildapfel Malus sylvestris. Die entlang der Seidenstraße sprießenden Apfelbäume wurden, da sie Fremdbefruchter sind, auch vom Pollen der einheimisch wachsenden Wildäpfel befruchtet. Zahlreiche Gen-Übertragungen vom Europäischen Wildapfel in den Genpool des Asiatischen Wildapfels (Introgressionen) sorgten letztlich dafür, dass aus der kasachischen Art die Äpfel wurden, die wir heute kennen.
Auch im Erbgut unseres Kulturapfels hat das Spuren hinterlassen: Etwa 46 Prozent des Genoms von M. domesticastammt vom Vorfahren M. sieversii und 21 Prozent von M. sylvestris ab, wobei die restlichen 33 Prozent bisher nicht zugeordnet werden konnten. Die Wissenschaftler konnten außerdem interessante genetische Marker (SNPs) identifizieren, die unter anderem die Fruchtgröße oder die Widerstandsfähigkeit beeinflussen. Vor allem der im östlichen Tian-Shan-Gebirge wachsende, isolierte Wildapfel M. sieversii könnte ein verstecktes Juwel für Apfelzüchter sein, da er keinen Anteil an den beiden Domestizierungsrouten des Apfels hatte. /
From Kazakhstan to the whole of Europe
The cultivated apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) originally comes from Asia. It travelled along the famous Silk Road as fruit or seeds together with silk or rare spices from eastern China to the Mediterranean.
Scientists have used genomic analyses to investigate the origins of the apple in more detail. To do this, they (re-)sequenced and compared the genomes of over 110 different apples and pears. The 24 species analysed included 35 varieties of our modern cultivated apple as well as wild apple species from North America, Europe and East and Central Asia. They succeeded in reconstructing the evolutionary history of the apple.
A long journey from Asia to Europe
Today's apples are descended from the Asian wild apple (Malus sieversii). The domesticated apples originated in Kazakhstan in the western part of the Tian Shan Mountains. In Xinjiang in north-west China there is also the wild apple Malus sieversii. However, the study was able to prove that the M. sieversii growing in China is an ancient, isolated ecotype of the wild apple that played no role at all in domestication.
On the way from Kazakhstan to the west, the wild ancestor crossed paths with the European wild apple Malus sylvestris. The apple trees sprouting along the Silk Road were also fertilised by the pollen of the native wild apples as they were cross-pollinated. Numerous gene transfers from the European wild apple into the gene pool of the Asian wild apple (introgressions) ultimately ensured that the Kazakh species became the apples we know today.
This has also left its mark on the genome of our cultivated apple: Around 46 per cent of the genome of M. domestica descends from the ancestor M. sieversii and 21 per cent from M. sylvestris, with the remaining 33 per cent not yet assigned. The scientists were also able to identify interesting genetic markers (SNPs) that influence fruit size or resistance, among other things. In particular, the isolated wild apple M. sieversii, which grows in the eastern Tian Shan Mountains, could be a hidden gem for apple breeders, as it was not involved in the two domestication routes of the apple.
