Love roses? How much do you know about them? Read on and get yourself even more acquainted with this timeless flower that’s loved by many.

A rose is a flowering plant under Rosa genus and Rosaceae family. It is a woody perennial with over a hundred species. Rose is considered as the most popular flower in the world. It comes in a variety of colours, sizes, fragrance, hybrids and cultivars. The most common kinds of roses are miniatures, bush roses, shrub roses and climbing varieties.

This ancient flower is loved for its large, showy, velvety petals and elegant beauty. Most rose species originated from Asia with more credit given to China that first cultivated roses in a garden thousands of years ago. Now, the beautiful rose has become a universal flower that is grown across the world. 

These multi-petaled beauties grow best in sunny, well-drained soils particularly clay soils.  They are available all year round and may be grown in the ground or in a pot.  For roses to grow strong and healthy, they need regular feeding and pruning to maintain ample soil moisture and nutrients.  Roses are sold either as seeds or cuttings. 

Being one of the oldest flowering plants, roses have acquired cultural significance in different societies. Romans used roses as room decorations and for medicinal purposes. In ancient Egypt, roses were offered to Goddess Isis.  Cleopatra of Egypt filled her living quarters with roses to make Marc Antony remember her whenever he sees and smells a rose. This elegant flower has long been used as a symbol, too. It is widely recognized as a symbol of love but over the years, it developed its unique language through its colours.

Rose Colour Meaning

The rich red rose remains to be the ultimate symbol of love. The darker ones that are almost black in colour are commonly associated with farewells and endings, or with rebirth and new beginnings. Pink roses are flowers of gratitude, yellow roses are flowers of friendship, orange roses depict enthusiasm while peach roses convey sincerity. A coral rose is the rose of desire and a lavender rose is the rose of enchantment. Gentleness is conveyed by light pink roses while purity and innocence are symbolized by white roses.

If you want to send a message of friendship, you can send yellow, pale peach, or a bouquet with a combination of red and yellow roses. If you want to charm someone, a dozen cream roses might do the trick. To express your sincerest gratitude and appreciation, dark pink roses can express what you mean.

Roses in Australia

In Australia, winter is the rose planting season. You can find a special collection of species roses at the ATCO Heritage Rose Garden located on the northern corner of Mount Lofty Botanic Garden. It features roses grouped into sections based on their characteristics. The collection was established in the late 1980s and continues to house new rose species.

Modern shrub roses recommended for growing in South Australia include the deep crimson Munstead Wood, the apricot Ambridge Rose, the fragrant and Australian-bred Carabella and the pink-mauve Deane Ross.  For miniature roses, orange Crickets, Australian-bred pink Delicious roses, low-growth Green Ice, and the elegant Jean Kenneally rose varieties are recommended. Cluster-flowered roses that will grow beautifully in South Australian soil includes Apricot Nectar, Flemington Racecours, Gold Bunny, La Sevillana, madam president and Tuscan Sun rose varieties. For old heritage and species roses, you can choose from Cecile Brunner, Lady Hillingdon, Monsieur Tillier, and the very fragrant Zepherine Drouhin.
