Red roses
Red roses close up, a single bud on a long stem, roses in a glass and against a blue summer sky. The red rose has stood for love since the poets of ancient Rome, which is why it is the flower of Valentine’s Day.
Orange, coral and yellow roses
Roses in warmer and softer colours: a pair of orange roses, a single coral rose on a dark background and a cream yellow rose seen from above.
Rose bushes and bouquets
Red roses on a bush in the evening, a bush covered in pale pink roses and a mixed bouquet of roses in a vase.
Rose hips and thorns
After the flowers come the hips: bright red fruit on wild rose bushes, one of them on the Velebit mountain in Croatia, and a close-up of the thorns on a rose stem.
Roses in art
A wrought iron rose on a garden railing, red roses painted on a white wall and a simple rose drawing on blue.
