rose

When using 'rose' as a flower, it can be used for both the plant itself and the individual bloom. As a color, 'rose' is often used to describe soft, pinkish tones in nature or fashion. Be careful with the verb form: 'rose' is the past tense of 'rise' (to go up). It should not be confused with 'raised', which is the past tense of 'raise' (to lift something else).
