[Middle English, from Old English, from Latin rosa.]

Word History: It is etymologically correct to drink a julep while watching the Run for the Roses. The English word rose comes from Latin and Old French. Latin rosa may be an Etruscan form of Greek Rhodia, «Rhodian, originating from Rhodes.» The Attic Greek word for rose is rhodon, and in Sappho’s Aeolic dialect of Greek it is wrodon. In Avestan, the language of the Persian prophet Zoroaster, «rose» is varəda and in Armenian vard, words both related to the Aeolic form. The Modern Persian word for «rose» is gul (which, believe it or not, is descended from a form quite similar to varəda through a series of regular sound changes); and gul-āb is «rose-water.» Gulāb is also a drink made of water and honey or syrup. The name of this Persian treat was borrowed into Arabic as julāb and then, through Spanish and French, became julep in English, the ambrosia for sipping on Derby Day.

MORE ABOUT ROSE

What does rose mean?

The rose is a bulbous, fragrant flower that comes in many different varieties and colors, including red, white, pink, and yellow. They are among the world’s most popular and best-known flowers.

The word rose can also refer to the plant on which roses grow, a shrub that’s commonly called a rosebush. Most rose plants are perennial shrubs. Roses are known for having sharp thorns on their stems.

Roses belong to the genus Rosa, which includes many different species and  cultivated varieties. Roses are popular in gardens, especially formal ones.

The kind of roses most commonly given as gifts are called hybrid tea roses. These are especially given as a symbol of romantic love, such as on special occasions like anniversaries or Valentine’s Day.

Different colors of roses are said to symbolize different things, especially when given as gifts. While all roses are associated with romantic love, red roses have an especially strong association. White roses can be used to represent innocence, while yellow roses can be used to represent friendship.

The rose is one of the June birth flowers (a flower that’s associated with a particular month in the same way as a birthstone).

The word rose is also used to refer to a color—variously a pinkish red, a purplish red, or a dark crimson (all of which can be colors of roses). The related adjective rosy is used to describe a reddish or pinkish tinge, often of skin, as in rosy cheeks.

Unrelatedly, the word rose is also the past tense of the verb rise.

Example: I know that sending a dozen red roses is a cliché, but my wife loves them.

Where does rose come from?

The first records of the word rose come from before the year 900. It comes from the Latin rosa, which is related to rhódon, the ancient Greek name for a rose.

Roses are native to different locations in Asia and other places throughout the Northern Hemisphere, including North America, northern Africa, and Europe.

The rose has widespread cultural significance around the world. It is the national flower of England and is the state flower of New York, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Georgia.

Several idioms and expressions contain the word rose. To stop and smell the roses is to take time to enjoy life and its simple pleasures. To look at something through rose-colored glasses is to view a situation in an idealized way, without seeing any negative aspects. The expression every rose has its thorn means that even beautiful things or positive experiences have flaws. To come up smelling like roses is to emerge unscathed from a negative situation.

How is rose used in real life?

Roses are one of the most popular flowers to give as gifts. The rose has widespread cultural and symbolic significance and is especially associated with romantic love.

Other forms: roses

A rose is a flower that people in love give each other. Even though Juliet says to Romeo, “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet,” don’t go calling it a dandelion.

Roses have multi-layered petals and smell wonderfully sweet. They come in a wide variety of colors that can convey various meanings: a single red rose, for example, sometimes means, «I love you.» Rose is also the past tense of rise, as in “Yesterday, the water rose to the top.” As an adjective, rose means «pink,» and when the word is pronounced row-SAY, it means a rose-colored wine. The Latin source of rose is rosa, which probably comes from an Iranian root.

English[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From a Norman name of Germanic origins, likely made up of Proto-Germanic *hrod (fame) and *heid (kind, sort, type), ultimately evolved from *hrōþiz.

Introduced to England in the form Roese or Rohese. Later conflated with the vernacular word «rose», and associated with the flower names that first became popular in the end of the 19th century. Also a nickname for names beginning with Rose-/Rosa-.

  • The surname may be matronymic, but more probably topographic from residence by rose bushes or the sign of a rose, or a nickname from rosy complexion.

WHAT DOES ROSE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

rose

Rose

A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. 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 7 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, itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd-, related to Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr.
