Some varieties of roses have an unsurpassed, sophisticated aroma, ranging from the smell of the classic damask rose, citruses, fruits, and ending with subtle notes of spices and exotic incense. And other roses, on the contrary, have either a slight smell or no smell at all.
The wild-growing species of roses, called wild rose, grows throughout Europe, Asia and North America. The very first garden roses appeared in Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece, and beautiful roses came to northern Europe only at the end of the 18th century, where they were brought from Asia. In the gardens of Russia, the rose appeared only at the end of the 19th century.
