The Rose: Queen of Flowers
The rose is the most common flowering plant on stamps throughout the world. There are hundreds of species of roses, and they are often among the favorite flowers within a garden. President Ronald Reagan designated the rose as the official flower and floral emblem of the United States in 1986. Resplendent in color and diverse in its varieties, the rose image continues to be one of the most popular flowering plants sold on US stamps. |
