Why are roses called roses?

Rose is a deciduous shrub of Rosaceae. Branches and stems are often needle-shaped, with odd pinnate compound leaves, 5-9 leaflets, oval, and lateral spines.

Petals obovate, double to semi-double, purplish red and white. The fruit period is from August to September, and it is oblate. Branches are weak, drooping and prickly, and only bloom once a year, so they are rarely used for breeding. Recently, their main characteristics are disease resistance and cold tolerance.

Symbolic meaning:

In mythology, roses are associated with Aphrodite, the Greek god of love. She is often depicted as being decorated with roses on her head, feet or neck. It is said that a rose grew in the blood of Aphrodite's murdered lover adonis. In Christian mythology, it is said that rose bushes also grow in the place where Christ died.

In tarot cards, roses are considered as a symbol of balance. It expresses commitment, a new beginning and hope. Its thorns represent defense, health, loss and rashness. In Grand Acana, roses appear on cards of magicians, strength, death and fools. All these cards have a strong sense of balance and average.
