June birth flower – Roses

Rose, scientifically known as Rosa rubiginosa, is a famous flower renowned for its beauty and fragrance. With approximately 300 species, they are diverse in terms of size, color, and shape. Their glossy, green leaves have toothed edges, and their stems are typically thorny.

While the majority of rose species are native to Asia, others are thought to have originated in North America, Europe, or Northwest Africa.

The rose represented the battles fought in the 15th century for the English throne between the families of York and Lancaster. Red roses stood for Lancaster, and white roses were associated with York. The fight between the two was known as the “War of the Roses.”

Since roses have long been associated with love, giving them as a token of affection is common. Roses are also a sign of joy, passion, and beauty.

They are available in a variety of bright and stunning colors, including white, yellow, pink, and red, each of which has an individual significance. Red symbolizes long-lasting love, orange represents excitement and desire, yellow represents joy and friendship, and the white rose represents purity and innocence.

Roses have traditionally been utilized in food, medicine, and decoration. It is one of the most commonly used skincare components. In addition, roses are used for stress relief, as an antidepressant, and as a moderate sedative.
