Description
\n<\/strong>It is a rare endemic species of plant in Cyprus. It\u2019s upright, deciduous bush that someone once meets with climbing other trees and sometimes landing on the ground.

Spreading
\n<\/strong>The genus Rosa L. (Rodi) counts over 200 species with spreading in the temperate and subtropical regions of the northern hemisphere. It can be found only on the mountain ridges of the Troodos region, specifically in the area of \u200b\u200bOlympus or otherwise of Chionistras. That is why it has been given to it this particular name. It is a unique and rare species of wild rose that is located in different habitats such as the black and trachea pine forest, as well as in golden oak shrubs. It is also found on the edges of the streets and in the openings of gullies at a height of 1100 to 1950 m. The areas where this species is recorded are Madari, Alona and Palaichori. Among the many other rare species of plants, the Troodos’ rose\u00a0composes the precious natural wealth of the Troodos region, one of the most important flora biotopes across Europe [1].<\/span><\/p>\n

Antiquity
\n<\/strong>In antiquity, its flowers were considered as sacred, because Aphrodite wore them on her hair. The Troodos’ rose\u00a0and its flowers are mentioned in many poems, songs and lyrics from antiquity to the present day. “Rhodes, a flower of flawlessness, rose, of spring concern” (Anakreontia). During the 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> centuries, there are testimonies that prove the enormous appreciation of the roses, since it has founded reference about the rosettes of tombstones in the Kition region [1].<\/span><\/p>\n
