Overview
More than three thousand names at species rank have been published in Rosa; Trees and Shrubs Online reckons there are probably no more than 150 good species. Checklist counts also include many natural hybrids, so totals vary widely with the approach. The genus is mainly confined to the cooler parts of the Northern Hemisphere; only three or four species reach south of the Tropic of Cancer.
Recognise it by the hooked prickles (the rose “thorn”), the odd-pinnate leaves (simple in subgenus Hulthemia), the stipules present in all species except R. persica, and the hip that the receptacle becomes after flowering.
Classification and naming
Linnaeus published Rosa in 1753 in Species Plantarum; it belongs to the Rosaceae. The two East Asian species of section Chinenses contributed more to modern garden roses than any other group.
WCVP treats the generic names in the table below as synonyms of Rosa, so Hulthemia, Hesperhodos, Platyrhodon and others in older literature can be traced to this genus.

Garden groups
Since 1955 the American Rose Society has been the International Cultivar Registration Authority for roses. It groups roses as species, old garden roses (classes in existence before 1867) and modern roses (classes that appeared after 1867). The first hybrid tea, introduced in 1867, marks the start of the modern era; the large-flowered cut roses sold by florists descend from this line.
