Roses

 My Favorite flower 

My favourite flower is the rose. It is known as the flower of love across the world. Roses can be found in different colours like red, white, pink, yellow, etc. The rose petals are soft and delicate. Roses grow on shrubs and has little thorn on their stems. The leaves of the rose plants are generally round and deep green. The fruit of the rose plant is known as rosehip. Rose is called the king of flowers. Roses can be found all across India. In aroma shops, you can find rose fragrances.

Rose has a lot of useful properties too. Along with medicinal use, it is used to create food essence, rose water, and beauty products like rose fresher rose perfumes. Women use roses to decorate their hair for weddings. In Indian restaurants, you will find rose-based milkshakes, syrups, sweets and falooda served for dessert. The flower is famously used to make garlands for weddings or worship in temples. There are different human emotions associated with rose flowers. The yellow rose symbolises friendship and caring, while white roses symbolise purity, and pink roses symbolise joy and happiness. Rose day is celebrated on the 7th of February each year. Rose flowers and bouquets are often given to people you love or as gifts at a wedding.

When roses bloom, they look beautiful in the garden or even in a florist’s shop. I, too, have planted roses in our garden with the help of my mother.
