Rosa
A rose is either a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa (), in the family Rosaceae (), or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Their flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through pinks, reds, oranges and yellows. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and Northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and

== Preparation ==
Traditionally, gulkand is prepared with Damask roses. Other common types of roses used include China rose, French rose, and Cabbage rose. Rose petals are slow-cooked with sugar, which reduces the juices into a thick consistency.
