Rosa
Rosa (the type subgenus, sometimes
incorrectly called Eurosa) containing
all the other roses. This subgenus is
subdivided into 11 sections.
Banksianae – white and yellow
flowered roses from China.
Bracteatae – three species, two from
China and one from India.

species from Asia, Europe and North

Etymology
The name rose comes from French,
itself from Latin rosa, which was
perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from
Greek ρόδον rhódon (Aeolic βρόδον
wródon), itself borrowed from Old
Persian wrd- (wurdi), related to
Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward,
Parthian wâr.
