Roses flower types

With their far-reaching popularity, roses are the queens of flowers. After
buttercup, the roses are the second oldest variety of flowers on the planet.
Biologists can trace roses back some 200 million years! Although there is a huge
number of meanings and symbols associated with roses, the most common of course
is love, which originated in Greek mythology. When Aphrodite cried about the
death of her lover Adonis, she had red "Adonis Roses" grown with his blood, -
thus red roses are the symbol of never-ending love. Important to mention are the
roses’ thorns, of which we all probably have some painful memory. Symbolically,
love can be painful and full of suffering when not treated carefully.
