// Genus species - Rosa banksiae, californica, canina, & carolina //

Angiosperm (flowering plant) or seed plant (usually conifer): The Rose is an Angiosperm plant in which it flowers and spreads spores and sperm to the same plant.

Monocot or dicot: The Rose is a dicot plant/flower because it has petal #s at the equivalent of 5.

Dioecious or monoecious (both male and female reproductive part per plant or only one reproductive part per plant) – The rose has both forms of sexuality in different subspecies.

Angiosperm/Conifer Monocot/Dicot Diecious/Monoecious

Family characteristics:
o Number of petals and sepals (color if applicable): 5 sepals 50 petals o Number of stamen: 5 o General description of flower (large and showy, small and white…): The flower of the rose is a large showy and at times solid colored flower but different color for a different species. Leaves: alternate/opposite/whorled, compound/simple, description of margins (dentate, lobed…): The leaves of the Rose are ovulate with teethed edges and are finely serrated with a stiff feel.Bark – T he bark of a Rose is cedar and is covered in the prickles or thorns that protect the plant from intruders.

Seed/fruit – specific name (legume, capsule) is ovary superior or inferior – T he seed of the rose is called achenes, the ovary is inferior.

Herbaceous or woody: The rose is a woody plant.

The size of the rose is the same with all species and verries from 4ft (120cm) or more. Depending on growth rate and amout of sunlight and water the rose can very in this size or above. The flower of the rose blooms in a 4-inch radius.

Identifying features:
Flower: The flower itself is bright and showy with bright colors of red there are no more than five petals on each row. It has no tall stamen but plenty of pollen. It is tall and well protective with thorns so mammalian predators cannot eat it.

Leaf description: The leaves of the rose are stiff, healthy and have edges with teeth to aid in its appearance of threatening its predator. It has a pinnate style vain where all minor vain connect to the midrib of the leaf.

Bark: the bark of the rose is strong and stiff of any other flower where it appears to many as a tree not a bush. Where the bark is strong so too is the defense with the thorns and spines on the bark to keep the plant safe from predators as well as a thick inner structure.

Description of surrounding area including 2-3 other species and impact plant has on area – nice feature, annoyance…? The surrounding area of the garden of the school is lovely with the tulips and rosemary around the rose. They impact the area with their beauty and diversity and there is nether annoyance or overpopulation.

Location/Habitat:
Rosa (Rose)
 * The Rose habitat consits of mildly or very warm tempuratures and grows in very moist soil with lots of sunlight.
 * Fluint in such habitats ranging in Europe, Asia, and North America, but do well all over the world exept for antartica.
 * The Rose dose not like destrebances and is seseptable to herbavore inscect pests such as the earwigs, aphids, spider mites and thrips. Also dislikes disturbances in windy areas where plant tops are vulnerable to damage from strong winds.
 * USDA zones the rose range in are 6b-9b (-10F to 30F)


 * Water/Sun Requirements:**
 * The rose requires constant and full sunlight to grow due to its large blooming flower and large size in growth.
 * The Rose also requires moist soil needed throughout the growing season where constant watering and flood plane areas help with keeeping the plant healthy.

Reproduction:

 * In reproduction the rose uses the method of pollin sperm exchange from the male flower parts the stamen to the female flower part the pistil. when polin and sperm is transfered to the pistil of the neighbor or other flower where the sperm from the pollin travels down the pistil and fertilizes the ovules in the ovary of the flower. When fertilize the ovules mature into seeds and spread the next generation of roses.
 * In some cases the next generation of roses can be formed in rose bud fruits where they spread sertin species of roses seeds. The fruit is red and has a very sweet taste to all who view it as a food source including humans who use it for surip at times.
 * The rose like most flowers requires the use of polination via insects to deliver the sperm of one plant to the other of the same species.
 * The rose generaly blooms in the the late spring around in may or in early June where the sun is always present for thier constant need for photosythasis.
 * Major polinators of roses are those among butterflies, bees and wasps.
