Postscript: The evolution history of roses

There are now more than 100 types of roses. The characteristics of old rose varieties are that they can adapt to increasingly difficult environments, grow well in various soil conditions, are tenacious, survive even in winter without additional protection, and have strong resistance to diseases and insect pests. Of course roses are fragrant, but why do new varieties appear?

Most roses in the past only bloomed once in the summer, and rose flowers often only had one bud instead of several eye-catching buds, which were not gorgeous enough. The single buds are less attractive than other varieties of flowers and are not available in sufficient quantities. Therefore, the previous roses were improved and developed to become more refined. At first the mixed roses only evolve into pink, but over time the shape of the rose buds, petals, open flowers, and color range can be controlled. As a result, more than one hundred types of roses have developed. More about: Rose History .
