Different societies throughout human history have highlighted roses as a symbolic value and great cultural importance. Roses secondary purpose is the production of essential oils for the perfume and cosmetic industries, but they are widely used as garden ornamental plants and as cut flowers. Domestication of roses has a long and complex history, and the rose species have been hybridized across wide geographic areas such as Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The domestication processes selected very important flower characters such as recurrent flowering, double flowers, petal colours, and fragrance. The molecular and genetic events that determine some of these flower characters cannot be studied using model species such as Arabidopsis thaliana, or at least only in a limited manner. Aim of this review was to approach and highlight development of genetic and genomic tools for roses, and then focus on recent advances that have helped understanding the molecular mechanisms of some rose floral traits.
