[名]バラ；((通例〜s))（特に）野バラのうれた実. Where do roses grow in the United States? Pretty much everywhere.
Roses grow in all 50 states and, in 1986, were designated America's national flower and floral emblem. The rose has been around for tens of millions of years. Its petals and hips are edible.
Rose hips, which have been used in medicines since ancient times, contain vitamins C,
E, and
K, as well as
pectin,
beta carotene and
bioflavinoids to protect and enhance the immune system. Rose hips are also helpful in maintaining safe cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and an efficient digestive system. The rose is not just the national flower — several individual states also adopted it as their state's bloom. Georgia's flower is the
Cherokee rose; Iowa's and North Dakota's, the
Wild prairie rose; Oklahoma's, the
Oklahoma rose; and New York went simply with the rose. June is
National Rose Month, honoring America's favorite flower.
