Lavandula is a genus of 39 known species of flowering plants in
the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is native to the Old World and is found from Cape
Verde and the Canary Islands, southern Europe across to northern and eastern
Africa, the Mediterranean, southwest Asia to southeast India. Many members of
the genus are cultivated extensively in temperate climates as ornamental plants
for garden and landscape use. Source
A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom
flower, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants. The essential
parts of a flower can be considered in two parts, the vegetative part,
consisting of petals and associated structures in the perianth, and the
reproductive or sexual parts. A stereotypical flower consists of four kinds of
structures attached to the tip of a short stalk. Source
A Rose garden
or Rosarium is a garden or park,
often open to the public, used to present and grow various types of garden
roses. Designs vary tremendously and roses may be displayed alongside other
plants or grouped by individual variety, colour or class in rose beds. At her
death in 1814, the garden included more than 250 varieties of rose. It is said
that her plant hunters also introduced some 200 other plants to France, among
them the dahlia. Source
The current Rosegarden program was originally named Rosegarden-4, to distinguish it from a previous program by the same authors called Rosegarden 2.1, which is now known as X11 Rosegarden. X11 Rosegarden is very limited, but is stable on a wide variety of Unix-like operating systems and other platforms such as OpenVMS. In contrast, because Rosegarduses the Linux ALSA system, it only runs in a very limited manner on non-Linux systems.The Rosegarden project was started in 1993 at the University of Bath. Rosegarden 2.1 was released under the GPL in 1997; Rosegarden began in April 2000. Version 1.0 was released on February 14, 2005, and version 1.2.4 on July 14, 2006. The current release is 14.02, which was released on Mar 3, 2014.Rosegarden was developed up through 1.0 by Chris Cannam, Richard Bown and Guillaume Laurent. Since then, each release has been developed by a different mix of core and contributing project members, including, but not limited to D. Michael McIntyre, Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas, and Heikki Junes. Bown has retired from the project, while Laurent has left to pursue his interest in porting to Mac OS X via Cocoa in an as yet unnamed spinoff project. Source
A rose is a
woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species.
They form a group of plants that can be 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 colours ranging from white through yellows
and reds. The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose
hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so
tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of
most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa
pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an
outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds"
(technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of
fine, but stiff, hairs. Source
