Etymology 1

From Middle English rose, roose, from Old English r?se, from Latin rosa, of uncertain origin but possibly via Oscan from Ancient Greek ????? (rhódon, “rose”) (Aeolic ?????? (wródon)), from Old Persian *w?da- (“flower”) (compare Avestan ????????????????????????-? (var^??a-), Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr, late Middle Persian [Term?] (gwl /gul/), Persian ??? (gul, “rose, flower”), and Middle Iranian borrowings including Old Armenian ???? (vard, “rose”), Aramaic ????????? (ward?) / ????? (ward?), Arabic ???????? (warda), Hebrew ??????
