Many varieties are named for women, although roses today are often men by women as a symbol of their love. No flower symbolizes love more than the rose, making it the perfect wedding flower. Rose varieties can be categorized as large flowered, medium flowered, small flowered, or cluster. Some are heavily scented; some moderately; some lightly; and some have no scent at all. Depending upon the variety, roses can last up to three weeks.
