Roses, renowned as symbols of love, friendship, and peace, hold a significant position in floriculture worldwide. Revered as the "King of Flowers" in India and the "Queen of Flowers" in Europe, their historical importance in India dates back to the distillation practices mentioned in ancient Ayurvedic texts.

Seasonal pruning, precise fertilization, and pest management further enhance yields. Diverse rose varieties, from Hybrid Tea to Miniatures, are tailored for specific climatic and aesthetic needs. With their profound cultural and economic value, roses remain irreplaceable in conveying emotions and sustaining livelihoods in the global floral industry.
