NEChrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.
Aster family
Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum × morifolium) is a perennial herb of East Asian origin — both a major cut-flower and pot plant and a medicinal, cooling, eye-brightening tea used for over 2,000 years in East Asia.
NERose
Rosa chinensis Jacq.
Rose family
The rose (genus Rosa, family Rosaceae) is a group of perennial thorny shrubs and the world's most popular cut flower and ornamental garden plant, a symbol of love. This entry takes Rosa chinensis Jacq. (the China rose) as its representative — a species native to south-west China and an important ancestor of modern roses because of its repeat-flowering habit. The petals are distilled into a precious oil (rose otto/absolute) rich in citronellol and geraniol; the hips are rich in vitamin C; and the petals and buds are also used in tea, preserves and spices.
