A rose (/ˈroʊz/) is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
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.
In mathematics, a rose or rhodonea curve is a sinusoid plotted in polar coordinates.
Up to similarity, these curves can all be expressed by a polar equation of the form
or, alternatively, as a pair of Cartesian parametric equations of the form
If k is an integer, the curve will be rose-shaped with
Where k is even, the entire graph of the rose will be traced out exactly once when the value of theta,θ changes from 0 to 2π. When k is odd, this will happen on the interval between 0 and π. (More generally, this will happen on any interval of length 2π for k even, and π for k odd.)
If k is a half-integer (e.g. 1/2, 3/2, 5/2), the curve will be rose-shaped with 4k petals.
If k can be expressed as n±1/6, where n is a nonzero integer, the curve will be rose-shaped with 12k petals.
If k can be expressed as n/3, where n is an integer not divisible by 3, the curve will be rose-shaped with n petals if n is odd and 2n petals if n is even.
Roses have been long used as symbols in a number of societies. Roses are ancient symbols of love and beauty. "Rose" means pink or red in a variety of languages (such as the Romance languages and Greek).
The rose was sacred to a number of goddesses including Isis, whose rose appears in the late classical allegorical novel The Golden Ass as "the sweet Rose of reason and virtue" that saves the hero from his bewitched life in the form of a donkey. The ancient Greeks and Romans identified the rose with the goddess of love, Aphrodite (Greek name) and Venus (Roman name).
In Rome a wild rose would be placed on the door of a room where secret or confidential matters were discussed. The phrase sub rosa, or "under the rose", means to keep a secret — derived from this ancient Roman practice.
The cultivation of geometrical gardens, in which the rose has often held pride of place, has a long history in Iran and surrounding lands. In the lyric ghazal, it is the beauty of the rose that provokes the longing song of the nightingale - an image prominent, for example, in the poems of Hafez.

Plot: After great tragedy, what would you wish for? Trembling with energy and a kind of hybrid Maori-Pakeha spiritual magic, Nine of Hearts is a short film unlike any other to emerge from New Zealand. Nine of Hearts is about the cards Gen, a Pakeha mother, has already been dealt, and the cards she is choosing to play now. Dealt the 'wishcard' in a tarot reading, Gen must decide what to wish for: a life she feels has been taken from her, or a new life in which old masks are left behind. Drawn forward by her two high-pitched fairy children, Gen must ultimately confront Nola, her teenaged Maori daughter, who has a wisdom beyond her years and a fury at her mother to match.

Plot: After the suicide of a snowboarder friend, his brother, Brandon, takes the depressed Nelson Nagarauk home to their tradition-conscious Inuit family at 69 degrees north. Brandon persuades him to accompany him on a ice-bear hunt, but Nelson changes his mind. On his way back, he finds a half-frozen Russian woman from a nearby weather station. He warms her up, but she seems to be very sick, otherwise. The next day, the woman is taken away by helicopter without a word of thanks. Later, on TV, a different, healthy woman is shown. What really happened? With Nelson's help, the ambitious journalist Virginia Ranks starts an investigation in which Nelson is not only confronted with a military intrigue but also with his traditional roots that he ridiculed before.

You used to like my style
I used to like your smile
I said I'll stay a sec
You said stay a while
You started sippin wine
Said i was on your mind
I said I'm thinkin of you too girl
You're hella fine
We hit the night time
For a late date
And every day after that
For eight months straight
Though we was rolled tight
We had small fights
You should've seen how we argued
Under street lights
I couldn't see your tears
From the pouring rain
You should've seen my body shake
When she said my name
She said I'm not the same
Andre you changed
I said baby it's pain
From the rap game
We went our seperate ways
Man I was hurt for days
Man, I didn't even call
I went through withdrawl
Flashbacks of her face
Hit me sometimes
And I be wondering man
Does she think of mines?
[Chorus]
I think that Rose stuck through the hardest time
Sometimes I put Al Geen on and think of Rose
Being with you is like a state of mind
Girl I'm thinkin about you all the time
[Verse 2]
I saw her at a club
She was with a thug
She thought i would say hi
But i didn't show no love
The homies blazin buds
And now it's gettin live
But I knew that she knew
That I'd protect my pride
I see her watchful eye
From across the joint
And then she knew how I'd feel
If I heard her voice
Now some ladies talked
And other ladies walked
But when it came to you girl
Man there was a spark
Your whole anatomy man
Was like poetry
The very smell of your hair
Was like luxury
It was because of me
When the days were bright
I would come through
With my silent night
