Description
This photograph of a grouping of a Peace Roses was taken from one of my flower beds. After my fathers death in 1979 from cancer I planted a Peace Rose bush in his honor because it was one of his favorite flowers. Through a few moves the bush still blooms as a reminder of my father and the good times we had.
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.
I hope you have enjoyed this photograph and will share it with others. You can see more of my work by visiting my homepage and viewing the various galleries I have created. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
