id prefer its from a fandom ik! (my fandlms r in my desc!)
also herez cool stuff abt roses:
Beyond being the universal symbol for "I like you," roses are incredibly hardy perennials that play a massive role in history, skincare, and even snacks.
Fun Facts About Roses
They are edible: Rose petals are often used in teas, jams, and salads. The fruit of the rose, called a rose hip, is packed with Vitamin C—even more than most citrus fruits—and is often used to make syrups or supplements.
A rose by any other name... is a cherry: Roses belong to the Rosaceae family. This means they are cousins to some of your favorite fruits, including apples, cherries, peaches, plums, and strawberries.
The oldest living rose: There is a rose bush at the Hildesheim Cathedral in Germany that is estimated to be over 1,000 years old. It survived the cathedral's destruction during WWII and continues to bloom today.
A "true" blue rose doesn't exist: While you might see blue roses in shops, they are actually dyed. Roses lack the specific gene to produce delphinidin, the primary plant pigment that creates true blue. Scientists have used genetic engineering to try and create them, but the results are usually more of a lavender or "lilac" hue.
The most expensive rose cost millions: The "Juliet" rose took breeder David Austin 15 years and roughly $5 million to develop. It debuted in 2006 and is famous for its unique peach color and deep, cupped shape.
Space-bound scents: In 1998, a miniature rose called "Overnight Scentsation" was sent into space on the Discovery shuttle. Researchers wanted to see how low gravity affected its smell; it turns out the rose produced a completely different scent profile in orbit than it did on Earth.
The Language of Color
While we usually default to red for romance, the color of a rose usually means something.
uh idk stars
here's a random thing: abt peonys!!
The Blooms: Peony flowers can grow incredibly large, sometimes reaching the size of a dinner plate (up to 10 inches across). They come in various forms, from single (a simple row of petals around a center) to double (dense, ruffled layers that look like a pom-pom).
Colors: They are most famous for shades of pink, white, and deep crimson, though you can also find coral, yellow, and bi-color varieties.
The Foliage: Even when not in bloom, the plant features attractive, glossy green leaves that stay lush throughout the summer.
Key Characteristics
Fragrance: Many varieties have a strong, clean scent that ranges from sweet rose to a spicy ginger-like aroma.
Longevity: Peony plants are famously long-lived; some bushes have been known to thrive and bloom for over 50 to 100 years if left undisturbed.
The "Ant Relationship": If you see ants crawling on peony buds, don't worry! They aren't harming the plant. They are attracted to the sugary nectar the buds secrete, and in exchange, they help protect the flower from other pests.
Growth Habit
Season: They are classic late-spring to early-summer bloomers.
Hardiness: They are quite tough and actually require a cold winter dormancy to produce flowers the following year, making them favorites in cooler climates.
Types:
Herbaceous: The most common type; they die back to the ground in winter and regrow in spring.
Tree Peonies: These have woody stems that remain above ground year-round.
Itoh (Intersectional): A hybrid of the two, offering massive flowers and sturdy stems.
In many cultures, peonies are symbols of prosperity, good fortune, and a happy marriage, which is why they are one of the most requested flowers for wedding bouquets.
