A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colors ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars, and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of a wide range of garden roses.
Rose wand owners possess great common sense and are considered to be incredibly reasonable folk. They often come across as a little jaded. An air of melancholy hangs about them. However, there is also a strength and steadiness in their presence. These witches and wizards make for wise and reliable companions, though perhaps a bit dry in their remarks. Both independent and sociable, they do enjoy being around others and love to feel they are helping others live better or become more confident.
They are not very romantic and emphasize practicality over passion. The rose wand selects such people on purpose, as it seeks out such an owner to bring some beauty and passion into their lives. Despite it all, many of these people are artistic at heart and love to create. It is easy for them to become enveloped in the creative process for extended periods, as though entranced. It is said that rose owners are destined to experience many unrequited loves throughout their lifetimes. They often maintain a youthful appearance well into old age.
There is talent in magic to do with love, blood, tears, secrets, dispelling enchantments, creating and dispelling glamours, and returning things to their original form. A rose wand is great for transfiguration, charms, herbology, astronomy, potions, and defense against the dark arts. Depending on the color of the bush's blooms, there is a diversity in the color of petal-like shapes emitted by this wand during spell work. Its magic smells of roses (which varies by variety), sea foam, musk, and a hint of vervain.
Rose wands encourage their own to take risks and pursue their true passions and desires. Thus, it may pull their owner in the direction of their desires or take steps to realize their dreams. Some of the best embellishments for rose wands include: pearls, hippocampus bone, gold, rose quartz, jade, silver, and aquamarine.
