Medicinal uses of the rose: Long ago rose petals were used to control bleeding because they contain an astringent called tannin.
Disadvantage of rose hybrids:Typically new colorful varieties of roses which have been created by hybridization are weaker against diseases. Named for fighters: Gladiolus flowers got their name because the leaves of the plant were shaped like a sword and made them think of the Roman gladiators.
