Rose
also called Cut rose, Long-stemmed rose
About
A rose is a classic flowering stem typically measuring about 18 inches (0.45 m) in length.
While individual florist stems are sized for bouquets, rose plants themselves vary widely across hundreds of species. Miniature cultivars grow only a few inches high, while vigorous climbing types can reach heights of up to 23 feet (7 m). Bloom sizes also shift based on variety, ranging from tiny blossoms under an inch wide to large hybrid tea flowers spanning several inches across.
From Wikipedia
A rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars.
