[11] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

rose
   many varieties of the rose proper are indigenous to syria. the
   famed rose of damascus is white, but there are also red and
   yellow roses. in cant. 2:1 and isa. 35:1 the hebrew word
   _habatstseleth_ found only in these passages, rendered "rose"
   r.v. marg., "autumn crocus", is supposed by some to mean the
   oleander, by others the sweet-scented narcissus a native of
   palestine, the tulip, or the daisy; but nothing definite can be
   affirmed regarding it.
   
     the "rose of sharon" is probably the cistus or rock-rose,
   several species of which abound in palestine. "mount carmel
   especially abounds in the cistus, which in april covers some of
   the barer parts of the mountain with a glow not inferior to that
   of the scottish heather." see myrrh 2.
