A rose is a perennial flower shrub or vine of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae, that contains over 100 species and comes in a variety of colours. The species form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Most are native to Asia, with smaller numbers of species native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Natives, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance.

The leaves are alternate and pinnately compound, with sharply toothed oval-shaped leaflets. The plant's fleshy edible fruit is called a rose hip. Rose plants range in size from puny, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 20 metres in height. Species from different parts of the world easily hybridize, which has given rise to the many types of garden roses.

The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin, rosa, which was borrowed from Oscan, from Greek rhodion (Aeolic wrodion), from Old Persian wurdi "flower" (cf. Avest. warda, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr).

Attar of rose is the steam-extracted essential oil from rose flowers that has been used in perfumes for centuries. Rose water, made from the rose oil, is widely used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. The French are known for their rose syrup, most commonly made from an extract of rose petals. In the United States, this French rose syrup is used to make rose scones and marshmallows.

Rose hips are occasionally made into jam, jelly, and marmalade, or are brewed for tea, primarily for their high Vitamin C content. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup. Rose hips are also used to produce Rose hip seed oil, which is used in skin products and some makeup products.

My Favourite Hero

My favourite hero is Tony Stark known as Iron Man. I know that it is a character from Marvel comics but I first saw him in the film "Iron Man".

Tony Stark is a genius and billionaire. His corporation sells weapons to the government but at some point he realises that his weapons can get to the wrong hands and cause misery. Then he makes a sophisticated suit and becomes Iron Man. His aim now is to fight evil.

I love Tony Stark because his superpower is not the suit, but his cleverness. Another reason for my choice is Tony Stark's flaws. I like that he is as imperfect as any ordinary person. He is prideful and arrogant, he is self-centered. His intentions are often good but the consequences of his actions do not always match his expectations. Anyway, he keeps changing and gradually turns into a selfless hero.

Tony Stark is a symbol of hope that we, people, will always be able to cope with any difficulties.

Мой любимый герой

Мой любимый герой — Тони Старк, известный как Железный Человек. Я знаю, что это персонаж из комиксов Marvel, но я впервые увидел его в фильме «Железный человек».

Тони Старк — гений и миллиардер. Его корпорация продает оружие правительству, но в какой-то момент он понимает, что его оружие может попасть в чужие руки и причинить страдания. Затем он делает высокотехнологичный костюм и становится Железным Человеком. Теперь его цель — бороться со злом.

Я люблю Тони Старка, потому что его суперсила не в не костюме, а в уме. Еще одна причина моего выбора — недостатки Тони Старка. Мне нравится, что он такой же несовершенный, как любой обычный человек. Он гордый и высокомерный, он эгоцентричен. Его намерения часто бывают хорошими, но последствия его действий не всегда соответствуют ожиданиям. Во всяком случае, он продолжает меняться и постепенно превращается в самоотверженного героя.

Тони Старк — символ надежды, что мы, люди, всегда сможем справиться с любыми трудностями.
