Two significant adaptations in rose plants are their thorns and their fragrant flowers. The thorns serve as a defense mechanism, deterring herbivores and preventing them from feeding on the plant. Meanwhile, the fragrant flowers attract pollinators, which is essential for reproduction and the production of seeds. Together, these adaptations help roses survive in competitive environments and ensure their continuation through successful pollination.
