Few plants have had such a hold on the human imagination as the rose.
The value of a rose is not so much in its fruit—although, the fruits have
some nutritional and commercial value. Rather, the chief value of a rose comes
in its being a symbol of love and beauty. It appears in art, is
exchanged as a symbol of love, its fragrance is captured in perfumes, and it
adorns gardens and public spaces. Roses were first cultivated in China about
5,000 years ago, whether for their beauty or for their edible fruit is not
known. Later, they were cultivated in India, Persia, the Middle East,
and Europe. In ancient Rome, roses were very popular, not only for their beauty
but also for food and for many medicinal uses. Roses were first cultivated in
