note: roses are shrubs with pinnate leaves and usually
prickly stems. the flowers are large, and in the wild
state have five petals of a color varying from deep
pink to white, or sometimes yellow. by cultivation and
hybridizing the number of petals is greatly increased
and the natural perfume enhanced. in this way many
distinct classes of roses have been formed, as the
banksia, baurbon, boursalt, china, noisette, hybrid
perpetual, etc., with multitudes of varieties in nearly
every class.
