Rosa is a genus of woody perennial flowering plants in the family Rosaceae, commonly known as roses, comprising over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars. The plants range in size and form, from trailing and erect shrubs to climbers reaching up to seven metres in height, and sharp prickles appear on the stems of many species. Their flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through pinks, reds, oranges and yellows.
