A red rose (flower)
A rose (graph with only one vertex)

Etymology 1[edit]

From Middle English rose, roose, from Old English rōse, from Latin rosa, from Oscan, from Ancient Greek ῥόδον (rhódon) (Aeolic ϝρόδον (wródon)), from Old Persian *wṛda- (“flower”) (compare Avestan 𐬬𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬜𐬀‏ (varǝδa-), Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr, late Middle Persian gwl (gul), Persian گل‏ (gul), and Middle Iranian borrowings including Old Armenian վարդ (vard), Aramaic וַרְדָּא‏ (wardā) / ܘܪܕܐ‏ (wardā), Arabic وَرْدَة‏ (warda), Hebrew וֶרֶד‏ (wéreḏ)), from Proto-Indo-European *wr̥dʰos (“sweetbriar”) (compare Old English word (“thornbush”), Latin rubus (“bramble”), Albanian hurdhe (“ivy”)). Possibly ultimately a derivation from a verb for "to grow" only attested in Indo-Iranian (*Hwardh-, compare Sanskrit vardh-, with relatives in Avestan).
